calgary, the can't do city only if ur not paying attention and think a hockey arena should be top priority.

These are all good examples and I would agree that Calgary is not a "can't do" city. We have already done a lot to enhance, beautify, and develop the city and continue to build it in a positive and meaningful way.
I would argue that the area Calgary fails in is large scale sporting infrastructure. Yes we built two brand new YWCA rec centres, Harvie Passage/bike lanes/riverwalk, and continue to refurbish outdoor parks. What we are lacking is a modern proper outdoor stadium for football/soccer, an indoor arena capable of hosting MULTIPLE sports and events, an indoor field house (or two), more outdoor turf fields like shouldice with small grandstands, a revamp of Foothills and Glenmore Park (new track facilities), and finally maintaining our Olympic infrastructure which is starting to resemble Sarajevo.
