Maybe we should amend the poll to ask how much Public money we're okay with spending on this project.
Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal all privately financed their arenas. Ottawa got $26M and Winnipeg $40M (three levels of government contributed).
I am not unreasonable. I see the value of a new facility. I don't see the value of paying $250M to help these billionaires. I'd be happy to donate land or contribute something up to $50M or so.
