Kill somewhere around $400M of private investment, and then ask that provincial/federal government assist in paying - and then it will look like a "win" when they get some sort of provincial/federal money...which is just taking more tax dollars and putting it into the project than before.

And Kenney will rubber stamp it, not as a chance to win votes (he knows he's done) but more as a legacy he can point to and even more as a middle finger to both sides in the province who he's already pissed off over Covid. If they promise to use Francophone contractors from Quebec, Trudeau will put his approval on it as well (and watch the budget of it balloon by 30%)

I wonder how those negotiations will go, and just how much that will encourage ownership to look for greener pastures? Partnerships are the way to get these things done in small markets. Gondek's ego screwed this up and will likely screw Calgarians that much harder if they try and finance this without the anchor tenant's involvement.

We're getting an NBA team I thought I read earlier in the thread.
