Vancouver: 0M in Public Money
... by all means let's discuss a deal structured much closer to what other comparable markets have done.

If you think Vancouver is a comparable, well...you're wrong. Especially when you compare it to Calgary today.
Winnipeg lost their team, went without it for...20'ish years, before someone came back and invested in Winnipeg...and there are SO many businesses investing in Calgary right now that I'm sure the City of Calgary already has someone lined up as a building partner for a new arena...or, wait...right, they've alienated the only publicly known partner they had, so...
Edmonton is your comparable. Unless we're having a talk about the potential return of the Calgary Flames in 2040 under completely different economic circumstances.
Also, your "uh huh" and "Alright CSEC" dismissive tone sure is enjoyable.
