Wow!
That horrible deal really speaks to the inferiority complex of Edmonton who bought into the threats to move and proposal for a 'world class' facility.
The fact that so many Calgarians are against public funding to the extent of the Edmonton deal proves Calgary has a far more confident and less gullible populace.
