How the #### is it a gift compared to Quebec City or Edmonton?!

Why must we do a crappy deal like Quebec and Edmonton? Why must we compare.
The Flames should get nothing for a new arena. They are getting 183m. The property tax payment will effectively pay the bond rates.
Here you go, Flames. You get hundreds of million for providing an emotional benefit to a large minority of the city. Now go make millions more!
If that isn't a gift to you, then I never want to come to your birthday party...
