That is THE reason the arena has been delayed. There is no public money coming, not from the province, not from the city, not from the feds. They're going to wait it out until the next provincial election cycle would be my bet.
Edmonton didn't get any provincial funds (officially) though. So province could easily tell Calgary to go pound sand.
