You know what though? At least it’s a company that does want to invest in Calgary, unlike pretty much every other company in the current environment. Yeah, there’s a lot of concessions on the City’s behalf in that ask, and I’m not saying I’m for it or against it - but if anyone thinks this type of deal is exclusive to CSEC, they’re kidding themselves.
For example, in the Amazon bid, if you don’t think Calgary is going to have to bend over and take it from Amazon in order to win the bid, then you’re kidding yourself.
But, I’m sure this will do nothing but further turn people against big business, because for whatever reason, it’s evil for wanting to operate in a City that pretty much no one else wants to at this stage.

Little easier to stomach giving a deal to Amazon who say they will employ 50,000 people over the Flames who will employ maybe 400-500, many of who are part time only.
