It finally got done when there was political will to get it done - they said “Nenshi, we can’t let the Flames’ hand picked candidate do this deal. So please, figure it out.”
And he did.
Then COVID happened.
That’s life. My car shouldn’t have cost what it did, but there’s a microchip shortage.
This shouldn’t cost what it costs. It’s the price we pay for putting off an obvious decision for ten years.
It’s only going to get more expensive. So just do it. At least the province is covering a sizeable chunk.

That's a fun take, this is OUR fault! LOL The Flames spent over a decade coming forward with unworkable plans and being incredibly hard to work with. So now it just costs what it costs? And again, I'm not so upset about the price(though it feels ridiculous) it's the taxpayer share of that cost with what appears to be very little benefit.
