I'd rather the province shoveled 100M dollars into a giant pile and torched it then hand it over to the Oilers/Flames on the preposterous notion that its going to benefit each city. We as taxpayers get to see our money used to line NHL owners pockets and also pay even more exorbitant prices to watch hockey under the premise of a having the privilege of going to a "state of the art" facility.

How about the benefit that money would have if it were invested or spent on health care/education.
