So for 500 million you get A field house, McMahon, a bunch of other facility upgrades, and thousands of units of affordable housing.
This chaos you see will be quickly forgotten. This passes or fails on the same basis it always has. If a new flames arena is announced next week this will pass. If not it won’t. I don’t think that has changed throughout this process.

From my viewpoint all the press has been negative. I think the Yes side has a monumental task to have even a slim chance of this going forward. It seems daily that I see a copy of the Calgary Sun with nothing but negative headlines pushed by writers like Rick Bell. I would be shocked if the yes side wins this.
