The funding though ... counter then. Counter with the city doing nothing but infrastructure and creosote clean up and the rest is the CSE's issue.
That funding model is an opening volley, that's all it was every stated to be.
But for the love of pete just stop with the rhetoric Nenshi, we're all tired of it.

It's not the city's job to counter a CalgaryNEXT with a Victoria Park based concept. It was the city's job to counter CalgaryNEXT with a study showing what it would actually cost. They did that.
It is CSEC's job to come up with a new concept and put it forward much like they did CalgaryNEXT. It will then be the City's job to counter/respond to that new concept.
The city doesn't go to Brookfield and say "hey I designed this building for you what do you think". Brookfield comes to them and says "hey I want to build this building what do you think". Why should it be any different here?
