no. but city dollars are coming from your pocket. at least the provincial and federal monies are from a broader base of taxpayers, so your individual burden would be less.
I'm not a fan of the Olympics and don't think Calgary should bid.
but if they intend to, I think this is the best chance for the people of Calgary to get an arena and pay the least amount for it.
The saddledome may be fine now, but I don't think it will be 10 years from now. so why not have funding for it wrapped up in the Olympics?
