I don't think most Calgarian will have a problem with the city putting up the money for land and infrastructure around the complex. But if the owners want much more than about $50 million in support from the city, they're going to have a real battle on their hands.
I think the Herald editorial board realizes that. Because frankly, that editorial comes across like the beginning of a PR campaign that the Herald is embarking on to maximize the amount of money the owners extract from the city.
