Also anybody who is pro city and says they're willing to go back to the table, don't kid yourselves, they are only willing to give soo much and what is the point negotiating with a condescending mayor anyhow.

Flames ownership, Ken King and the Mayor have all acted like petulant children in this process. The fact that you can only find fault with the Mayor's actions is quite telling.
I'm not sure how the following points are continually lost on you.
- At no point has the City (or the Mayor) walked away from negotiations. The City always negotiates in good faith and will always be at the table should Flames brass want to discuss. It is a requirement of municipal practice.
- Council voted UNANIMOUSLY to move away from CalgaryNEXT to "Plan B".
- Council also voted on disclosing the City's offer because they felt the need to be transparent to Calgarians.
- The Mayor has one vote. Let that sink in for a moment.
- The City is willing to put up funds (tax support). The question is how much. That's pretty much the definition of a negotiation.
