I actually disagree.

Think about it from this perspective: The Flames/CSEC have had every opportunity to do this arena deal for eons.

Ken King chose between $100/bbl and $26/bbl, a PC Government and an NDP Government and Bronco and Nenshi.

He couldnt have possibly timed this worse.

Heads tend to roll for less.
