The stupidity you describe above sounds like Farkas. Only he would kill good projects not over spend them.
Either way she never was for this project no matter what. I debated her on social media years ago prior to Calgary Next. She was admit no public dollars at all toward pro sports.
Those are the people you have to play the game with, because that is what they do. Play games.

I never read your other posts, but I can only guess you are talking about Dru Farrell.
She’s worse than an ideologue, she’s an egotistical ideologue. She only uses a frame of reference like urbanism or a pride parade to placate her own insecurities and elevate her own importance.
She actively hurts the causes she claims to support because she caustic and toxically inflexible. Just like Farkas and his lunatic fringe.
A new event centre is about place making. The Flames and the city are partners. The role of government is to perform roles neither individuals or businesses cannot. In a market the size of Calgary this is their role in place making. The Flames aren’t stupid, they can’t take all of the risk of a project this scale in a market this size. They’ve done a piss poor job of communicating their position, and vision as has the city.
I’m 100% on board for the project, but I haven’t seen any visions about what the space can look like or how it can perform in 10 years on a Saturday in January or February before a game or the day after with other winter festivals/ events or ongoings that can either embrace the cold or take full advantage of a chinook.
