The final price tag at $601-million (480 arena and 121 million for LRT, Winter Garden). The mayor is very confident that the funding will not be an issue from the Provincial government

Sure, they can get construction started. What happens if halfway through, they realize the fed/prov government isn't going to give them any money? The city is then left holding the bag. I'm sure Edmonton taxpayers will be more than happy to pony up an additional $114M to cover it right? You sure as hell aren't going to get it from the snake Katz.
