I believe this to be a short sighted view of the Flames impact, and also do greatly question the “50,000 jobs” amazon would bring (...I think the number is inflated, but time will tell), but I do get your point.
The general sense in this thread is that CSEC should put forward a deal that no other company in a market like ours should put forward, and that sentiment is what will eventually lead to the end of the organization here, which seems to be the overall hopes in this thread anyways with how CSEC is being portrayed (evil big business).
I also do think the Flames/a plan for a new arena would be a draw for a company like Amazon. Overall, it’s just a really crappy time for the city I grew up in and still call home.
