I guess the words of the mayor don't matter either? Where Nenshi said he doesn't think it's appropriate to use public money for private profit?

Weird, asinine, baseless conclusions you're drawing.
Yup, there's no way that the City of Calgary is going to give such a bad deal as the Oilers got.

Like I mentioned, the city may create a CRL and pay for some infrastructure upgrades related to the project, but they aren't going to give the Flames' owners a zero interest loan, then make all of the payments on the loan for the owners, and not own a dime of the building - which is what Edmonton's council essential gave Katz.
