I said there will some
combination of funding/tax relief/land donation/infrastructure..and if there is even an interest free or ultra low interest loan that is government help.
A project that is this big will have some form of the above and I honestly don't care what they are saying now.
"No direct money" is putting lipstick on a pig.....I'm sorry but if people actually think no tax dollars are going into this they are fooling themselves.
Nenshi and his crew are simply working on their creative math to sell it to us like the sold it in Edmonton.
