The Province cut the Cancer Center exactly because of funding issues. Does the Province now magically have some extra money for the Flames, just because this is how it's done in "todays world"?

The money is either there or it isn't. If they pay for a stadium, something else has to be cut. There simply isn't enough money to do everything on our wish list. We're not Dubai.
