I don't think that's correct.
If you have a link to anything that shows the PC government diverted funds over and above what the city was already going to receive, specifically to build the arena, I would love to see it.
I believe the provincial government didn't give Edmonton money to help build an arena.
Edmonton directed funds from the provincial government towards the arena. big difference.
If the city didn't choose to do that, maybe some of the crappy roads could have been fixed or some other infrastructure use.
