No, the City of Calgary should not just "give" money to the Flames organization for some stupid poorly-thought pipe-dream. But they absolutely should help them and be part of finding a solution to building a new arena. Because there are undisputed benefits to Calgary in having an NHL franchise. If you completely reject the notion of a mutual benefit here, this discussion is going nowhere. All I'm saying is that it just needs to be properly quantified.
