The few million dollars this will cost is absolutely nothing compared to the hundreds of millions we as a city have agreed to. Everyone on this board has likely spent thousands of dollars in support of this team. If they don't support their most vulnerable during this time, I hope that stops.

Good perspective.
Many in the city believe that council should've held out so that the Flames paid an even larger share of the arena cost. Calgary for all intents and purposes conceded millions it maybe shouldn't have to get this thing in ink out of faith that it will help both parties. Depending on who you talk to some will say that the Flames should be paying much of that, but the city has decided to chip in nevertheless. But now that these Calgarians need a hand, ones that help keep their business functioning no less, and a much smaller sacrifice than that the city has agreed to, Murray has ####ed off to wherever he is overseas and turned his cheek. Whoever in the org has enough trust from these people to advise them needs to make clear the massive mistake ignoring this is.
I dont think the hand that feeds - the city/fans - would forget this easily.
