It totally screws over edmonton.....they already have a theme, a nice little jingle, you know, actual plans...Calgary has nada, zip zilch.....but we did cut a cheque for almost 1/2 million to be considered....good thing the city council raised my tax rates to cover this bid that is destined to fail..
By putting calgary in competition with Edmonton, who has actually spent months working on their submission, it hurts their chances. The culture minister of Alberta would have a choice of either funding both bids (at around 1.5 mill a pop) or refusing to fund either....
If calgary actually had a plan and put some forethought into this, I would be all for it....but plain and simple we dont..
