IMO, people who have no interest in hockey shouldn't have their tax dollars funding a new building.

That's not really how taxes in general work though. You pay for stuff you may not use, but other people end up paying for stuff only you use. A new arena (and area) would be utilised by any fan of sports and entertainment. It's not just for hockey fans.

You kind of just sound like regurgitated Sun comment sections, really cliché. The bridge was Bronco's last hurrah, and the blue ring lead to a review of how the art projects are chosen (since Nenshi himself didn't like the thing). What are you still complaining about?
Art improves lives.
It inspires those who are open to inspiration.
Our city is better for having it. Your opinion is not a popular one, it's just the one many people feel the need to be belligerently loud over. We get it. Blue rings. Purple power. Point noted.
