Just gives off weird vibes. Grandstanding vibes.
I would think a proper strategy is to let the Flames actually cancel and then I am sure the media comes calling and you give comment then. Nothing is lost by letting it happen and it dares the Flames to actually do it in writing. Maybe it wouldn’t have gotten there?
I voted for the Mayor but knew I didn’t agree with the way she operated. The mayor seems to love a pulpit, and sometimes that can make things worse.

I would say that is PR 101, no?
control the message before the Flames can leak their side of the story and have the City sit silent. The City was notified that CSEC intended to terminate the contract and jumped out in front of the news story.
Nothing she wrote could be considered false or misleading. If anything, CSEC response is worse - it's clearly just a cost and supply chain issue as opposed to changes to the deal or demands made by the City.
Better yet, it's transparent - which is something we kind of all want from Government no? What if CSEC leaked this and the City didn't respond?
