With the funding being towards infrastructure, I don't think the NDP would kill the deal.
I do view it as if the NDP does kill the deal, they get left holding the bag as the government that lost Calgary the Flames.

Interesting political move. Not sure what it would mean if we cut through it from a provincial perspective...
As clearly denoted by the Premier herself, the province isn't actually contributing to the Event Centre it's self. I'm sure much of the infrastructure that's being funded, would be getting funded anyway.......feels like more of a political play to link the arena and the election somehow, although my guess is there is actually no connection given the province isn't funding the actual rink.
