Nenshi has no problem using my tax money for an Olympic bid that will bring Olympic hockey to Edmonton and enable the IOC to make hundreds of millions , all for a sixteen day party that I don't know , will help elevate his political career maybe ??? Yet he has no appetite for using public funds for a piece of infrastructure that will help keep NHL hockey and other events that would benefit Calgarians locally for the next thirty years ??? Is the city's bid not saying that they will front the loan but be paid back in full and their third of the cost is also to be paid back over x amount of years ??? Am I correct or am I missing something ???
