And I echo Browna, if it means Calgary has to use Edmonton's facilities to get this done, count me out. One of the perks of hosting the Olympics is to thumb our noses at Edmonton when they brag about hosting the Track and Field Championships or something else less significant. Haha.
Do you know that for city projects sometimes money comes from the city, sometimes from the province and sometimes from the federal government?

With regards to a hockey arena vs Olympic venues which one do you think has federal money being put into our city? And therefore which one do you think Nenshi is most likely to get behind?
