I doubt you're going to be using a new arena much either when the Flames are done cranking up the average ticket price to un-affordable levels once a new structure is built. The worst part is that prices have already ballooned over the last 10 years. They're lining everyone in the city up to be bled dry before they come back for more.
People complaining about libraries probably don't understand that they offer far more services than simply renting books....family classes, meeting spaces, educational events, access to technology. Its not just libraries under attack either, Mr. Burke also scoffed at the notion of having a national music centre in the city....imagine Calgary having something ground breaking that can support industry besides oil and hockey! Mr. Burke also thinks we should be dolling out tax breaks to all his millionaire players because it's just not fair. Maybe we should offer every Flames player free gasoline and groceries if they sign with the team to further level the playing field?
At this point I say the city should put him and his buddy Ken into a cannon and shoot them over the glenmore reservoir. Anyone who is still lapping this rubbish up needs to question if they even want this province/city to succeed.
