At the end of the day both are important to building a vibrant good city, but if there's one area in Calgary that really needs a boost in, it's the realm of museum/art facilities. At the moment it's woefully underrepresented considering the size of the city (and it's corresponding ego). Let's face it, the Glenbow is an old and dank dinosaur, and the current Epcor is severely lacking in space. And where's that modern museum we've been promise for 20-30 years now?

I agree that if Edmonton is getting this, the province better be ponying up on the Epcor expansion.
