I'm honestly shocked that there are people defending a pretty blatant electioneering financial deal that is pretty much explicitly set up as a vote for me or you lose the Flames.

Why can't the province disclose what their details of the deal are? Like.. for a province that (frankly pretends) to be so fiscally responsible, with an election right on the doorstep, how can you NOT, as a voter, demand details of this to help you decide.

To base a voting decision on the chance that voting for one party over the other could lead to the Flames leaving is insane, and some of you are like: "#### YEAH! I couldn't possibly vote NDP if they won't blindly accept this deal! But the NDP will raise taxes!"

For the love of god can some of you think critically here? When the NDP is asking questions about the fiscal responsibility of capital investments, and they're being criticized by conservatives for it.. what bizarro land are we in?

Like, if the deal is specifically for investments for roads, the green line, CRL contribution etc.. then that's awesome, and the NDP should support it. But holding any of those details back is purely to hold the spectre of "what if" over the election. You all should be livid.
