I think 2 weeks would have been very reasonable. If a 4 week difference kills this deal then it’s not a good deal. If the concern is the public might have a negative reaction over a longer period then it’s not a good deal.

This is what concerns me. It's being rushed through under the guise of momentum, but what they don't want is people digging into things and asking too many questions. It's really pathetic.
And lest anyone think otherwise, I'm in favour of a new arena. I support the Flames and city, and I think it's got to happen. That just doesn't mean at any cost though. I've come to grips with the fact that public money is going to subsidize a private business and no one will spend the political capital to change that for some reason. But come on...just level with us and show us the numbers so we know what we're actually on the hook for.
