I think Calgary's in trouble. You can thank BC and the Feds for that.
The trouble with the 'things are good' crowd is that 'things change' and owners and business people will move on because it makes sense from a business perspective and that's pretty much all the thought that'll go into it- fans be damned.

You have much less faith in the people of this city and province than I'd say most of us do. Calgarians are smart people. Yeah times are bad right now and our economy is not set up for success. However, our population is young and industrious and innovative and I suspect that if there is a province and city in this country that will figure out a way to go on despite the woes of the O&G industry it is US. Not everything in Calgary revolves around oil and gas. It's time our populace starts to learn that. You talk to young Calgarian's the youth leaders of tomorrow, the youth titans of industry and they already realize and understand this. Calgary's future is bright. And it's important to continue to invest in public spaces like Stampede park's redevelopment so we have great places for our future to celebrate, congregate, get some work done and still have fun. CMLC has proven in my mind that they're the right people for this job.
