It's just people get so up in arms about public funding on things like rinks to private businesses, when really every single big business in this province, which keeps the province running, gets a boat load of government incentives one way or another.
Not that it should be my problem as I don't live in Alberta, but I would imagine if I did have a stake in this, I would be ok with tax breaks and low interest loans, but not for the province to pay out of their pocket.
