The bomb dropped at the Saddledome and you could hear it blocks away at city hall's big blue playpen where the politicians droned on for a second day.
Yes, the Flames owners are done talking to city hall about a new arena. They're definite about it. They're clear about it. That's it, that's all.

Then Davison and co. pushed to shift the city's position (pay more money).

Just seeing the same thing play out again. No reason for CSEC to not do it until they get as much money from the city as possible. They walk away, everybody panics and blames council or the mayor, then they just need to wait until the desperate people undermine the city's negotiating position again.
