I find it noteworthy that the initial vote in July 2019 had to be somewhat rushed or wait until council returned from summer break. (I still think they could have managed a few more dotted i's and crossed t's - ultimately it may not have mattered, but might have at least made it harder to claim these red herrings).
Now this all played out over two of the hardest weeks to get much business done around Xmas and New Years.
Sonya Sharp from the Braid article:
Quote:
Sharp insists Gondek should not have gone public immediately after receiving the crucial phone call from Flames majority owner Murray Edwards about the cancellation.
“It was the mayor’s responsibility to speak to council before any sort of decision is made, or before going into the public with it,” says the councillor.
“Dealing with something as significant as a partner pulling out of an event centre deal, we need to have a special meeting.”

She seems to acknowledge that CSEC did the pulling out, but wishes the city hustled back to the table and beg for a pregancy?
