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. |
Besides huffing and puffing, what gives you such confidence that this will be built with public money?
Saying it will happen is just words. Tell us, why do you think the politics on this will change?
You have council basically unanimous in not providing public money for the project. There is no money coming from the Province. There is no money coming from the federal government.
What makes you think that somehow this will change? Politically, it's a non-starter. Did you read the article? Council members were overwhelmed by constituent opposition to public money to the project. Do you think the politics are going to dramatically reverse? Highly doubtful. The most the city has said is that it will expedite the permitting.
So please, expand on why you think this is such a given.
