text: Calgarians ought not to be surprised if one of the ultimate consequences of the 2017 municipal elections is a decision of the ownership group of the Calgary Flames and Stampeders to sell their interest in the teams to others.  It will be representative of alot of other business decisions taken recently. Perhaps Calgarians will see it as a good thing.  The present owners are likely loathe to move the Flames team to another city but it might not be so hard for new owners to do so.  Overall, given the election results, citizens appear quite content with that prospect as Calgary slowly winds down and devolves into perhaps a city like Tulsa or any of the other "fly-over" cities folks refer to as they do business elsewhere.  Horizons have shrunk considerably in Calgary as people, money and ideas have left town.  Those that have stayed behind currently find alot to celebrate much like those walking a beach before the tax and spend tsunami hits them.
