The hypocrisy of funding a guaranteed billion dollar money loser which literally NOBODY gives a crap about a month later, and stonewalling the team that is the face of your city going on 40 years is ludicrous. (Although I’m sure narcissistic Nenshi thinks he’s the face of the city.) Especially hypocritical when the owners of said team actually contribute millions in hard cash to the community, while Mayor McTweets contribution is retweeting lost dogs, and accusing men and women 10x more successful and charitable of being greedy billionaires.

It is pretty humorous to see a lot of people staunchly against public money going towards an arena onboard with the Olympics. They're essentially the same thing, except instead of helping out billionaires from the city you're helping out an international consortium that has its headquarters in a compound in Switzerland.
What happened to all the cries about money for the homeless, or seniors?
