Add in the his pet project of an olympic bid which has zero chance without new facilities and the whole thing comes across as hollow and grandstanding.
Ok, but you realize the arena is 90-100% likely to happen right? Unless the Flames go off the deep end and try to get $200 million from the city for the building itself, this will get done. But CalgaryNEXT was always a terrible idea, forget the presentation that was lackluster, the idea itself was flawed. City has no incentive to give the $200 million when it can use that money on it's own, 100% public facility. Flames just tried to get a new building for the Stamps for basically free, which is their right to attempt. And it's Nenshi's right (really, it's his obligation) to call a bad project a bad project.
