you keep saying the provincial government gave Edmonton a pile of money towards the arena, but that isn't true. they did give 7 million for the community rink, but that's about it.
here's the agreement with all the attached documents.

while the oilers may have bent over the city, I don't see provincial funding. I do see where Edmonton may is directing money the CRL, but that's not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination.
So I do agree with you that Calgary should get as much money as Edmonton did from the provincial and federal government towards the building of a new arena.
