And you're 100% right, anyone with skills with numbers can make any case they want, that's why it essentially boils down to how you feel about it personally - if you don't like the idea, you'll agree with the negative spin; if you like the idea, you'll agree with the positive spin.
My entire point is that using the powers of logic I can all but guarantee that the cost is going to be substantially over budget because those who made the budget are corrupted and biased and purposefully low-balled the budget for political purposes. And if Calgary is responsible for the entire cost overrun, we're basically getting bent over hard.
