We also met at their offices in BH, in a meeting room that was around 40C because "the HVAC was messed up and this was only meeting room available". Uh huh.
As it turns out, they signed our agreement instead, but in the last round of negotiations we signed theirs. That clause is now gone in their standard agreement.
When re-negotiations happened, we invited them to our offices, and I kept them in the meeting room for six hours and farted the entire time.

I had some interactions on the business side with the Flames org, and I would say the interactions isn't that different than those CNRL interactions.
I have resigned myself to the fact that the Flames most likely will not be successful on the ice until there is a change in ownership and the way they conduct their business from a corporate perspective.
