This reminds me of the Calgary Next thing also, it bugged me when people included the land clean up as part of the cost of the arena and stadium. Yes that money needs to come from somewhere, and it is a cost, but we need to clean up that land at some point. It only gets more expensive as every year passes and a time with a huge economic downturn and high unemployment would be the logical time to get something like that done. Take money from the stupid lightbulb program and the other feel good crap that this government flushes down the toilet every day and do something that is actually going to make a difference in our environment.
