You sound so far removed from anything winter sport related. This is not a want for the many athletes that come to this city to train year round. If you care about Canadian winter sport at all, you would at least consider this. Most of Calgary's winter sport infrastructure and thus Canada's winter sport infrastructure is nearing the end of its life. Winsport needs significantly more money to maintain its level of training facilities, same as the Olympic oval.
For you to dismiss this shows that you have not looked at the pros and cons of the argument. For the record, I am still on the fence about which way to vote.
