But if the arena is truly the decisive factor in this, cut out all the other risks and make it simple. The other infrastructure that's left is meaningless, and based off what we've seen the past 48 hours cannot be relied upon to come in on budget. With there being no back door to arena funding in the current deal that so many thought might be there, it would seem unlikely there's an arena deal to be made, especially since the CSEC has more leverage now that for most people it's wanting the arena more than the Olympics. Might be a good time for them to dig in and play hardball.
