First of all, I clarified my position with respect to it being anecdotal, and suggested how that might apply to a larger scale.
And second, I think you are just being obtuse. Let's see: $4K... and let's suggest an average bill of $80 per night. That would mean 50 dinners, or one more every week of the year than you are doing now.
Maybe you really like going to local restaurants, but I am going to go ahead and suggest that your (sarcastic and) anecdotal example doesn't happen.
Let's try and keep the arguments reasonable. How many STHs do you honestly think will spend all or substantially all of those entertainment dollars in Calgary? Sure, there are
some that will transfer to the symphony or another type of entertainment. But it is beyond optimistic to think that
most would.
