If the city ends up getting more for what we spend, we should definitely do it, even if it doesn't end up as the reported 10 X return. If it ends up as a 5 to 1 or 4 to 1, do it. It's not everyday the government hands out $2 billion + to the city of Calgary. The field house, the Victoria Park revitalization, affordable housing, green line, these are all things the city is going to eventually have to pay for by ourselves anyway, so to get some help would be gravy.
