I find it very hard to believe Edwards and the Flames LP couldn't fart out the cost of this building in their sleep but instead choose to weasel valuable funding away from other areas in dire need. |
Very interesting:

N. Murray Edwards derives most of his fortune from stakes in Canadian oil and mining companies but his net worth climbed $250 million from a year ago in part because of a jump in the value of his estimated 30% stake in the Calgary Flames hockey team. Forbes valued the team at $420 million in 2013, up 70% from the prior year.
