Seattle and QC are decent markets but you think the Flames could move to one of those markets and make more money than they make now? In Houston?

The tone of that offer is rather disappointing. What the hell?

Who cares when you're using hundreds of millions of dollars of someone else's money.

As someone who has no ties to the actual city I am totally on the cities side on this. What CSEC is demanding of you tax payers and the city is ridiculous.

That’s a pretty big leap. From a wild Flames offer to a guaranteed vote for Nenshi.. like he rode in on a white horse and tore it up personally. Reports are that he didn’t even go to the meetings.

On the down low, I heard Ken King has been so distressed by the way these arena talks are going, he's buying five sweaters a day.

In the interview, Mr. King said it was "inappropriate" for someone to leak the document. "Somebody was playing fast and loose with their ethics and I think that's a damn shame," he said.
So you take a few days to release your proposal to the city that omits 'minor' details like this, and the people leaking the documents are the unethical ones?!



Where are the people whining about how the City was the side acting in bad faith? Any change in the tune after seeing this kind of BS come to light?

Is one of them going to end up smothering him? Because that would be terrible.

Politics aside, the flames need a new arena, and I don't care where the money comes from. While I feel CSEC is being greedy, the only nice thing about living in this city is the flames.

I care where the city comes from. I want to know if the city I live in is being fiscally responsible with taxpayer dollars. Also, if you think the Flames are the only good thing in Calgary, you need to get out more.
