Come on, in a country where 67 percent of the new NHL arena's are 100 percent privately funded you think that zero dollars from the taxpayer and 100 percent private funding is extreme? That is the norm in Canada, the extreme view is begging taxpayers for money when free enterprisers in Quebec do it without help from the taxpayer tit.
Surely Mr. Katz, the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Oilers single handedly have not transformed something from extreme and rarely used by Canadian standards to acceptable and normal have they? They have not taken something that other Canadian cities have felt is no good and made it good? I personally refuse to believe that that extreme position is now the new normal in Canada.
