Let's at least be honest about this, at least that is a reasonable stance. Still not one I agree with, but at least more informed. Don't rehash untruths.

No. There is economic benefit to the city. That is a truth. It's silly to suggest there isn't.
But it's also silly to suggest there is a half billion of economic benefit. 100 million, in infrastructure to support? 50? I have no idea.
But to suggest there is no economic benefit to having the Flames in Calgary (which will eventually require a new arena) is complete nonsense.
