We’ve written a lot of different things about the ongoing arena negotiations between the Calgary Flames and the City of Calgary over the past two or three years. And since the issue seems far from over, it’s inevitable that will continue. But earlier this week, I had a chat with Calgary’s top civic affairs podcast, The Confluence, hosted by the Calgary Herald’s Annalise Klingbeil.

Check out the whole episode. Rick Bell breaks down the municipal election to this point in the campaign, and then I provide a rundown of the many, many things that have happened arena-wise over the past few years and especially the past month.
