Sorry, but Calgary isn’t getting a privately funded arena - and if we, the city of Calgary, aren’t prepared to see that reality, then we’ll eventually lose the Flames (not any time soon), and then eventually build a 100% publicly funded arena...which is just stupid. Also, the Flames aren’t proposing the Edmonton deal - this deal is a much better one for the City.
But, hey, who cares. Let’s paint “big business” as bad and evil and trying to screw over the little guy.
