Arts and culture is in the discussion because it was brought up as a completely baseless benefit of publicly funding a new arena by another poster.
You do the most good by doing the smart thing and not writing cheques to private hockey teams. There isn't a lot of funds to go around these days and the province certainly doesn't need to be playing charity with billionaires at the expense of valuable public funding.
