I'd dispute some of those numbers but yeah maybe I overstated fraction slightly. The City's contribution will also inevitably be more due to cost overruns. And then what are we left with? An unnecessary community arena? Olympic Oval upgrades? 150 million dollars down the drain with McMahon?

Let's save the City money and use it to build things we actually want/need.
