At the end of the day, the new arena project will occure, and the level of public funding received will be in the same ball park as the deal up north.........just how these things will work out. Not much happens here or there that doesn't mirror each other when it comes to public funding. If you are still holding on to some hope that the public funds won't get used for this project because you don't want it to happen, you have your head firmly up your butt.

Laugh, you're only argument is that Edmonton did it so therefore Calgary must.
I'm telling you that it is not going to happen that way.
And that it's the reason for the now 4 year delay in announcing the new arena. The Flames have been going to the well but it's been dry.
Which is why the Olympic bid rumours are eminently believable. It's the last good hook to pry public money to pay for the arena.
