The taxpayers ####ed themselves by not making it clear to council that a new arena was a priority a decade ago. It should have been top of the agenda after the flood.
It finally got done when there was political will to get it done - they said “Nenshi, we can’t let the Flames’ hand picked candidate do this deal. So please, figure it out.”
And he did.
Then COVID happened.
That’s life. My car shouldn’t have cost what it did, but there’s a microchip shortage.
This shouldn’t cost what it costs. It’s the price we pay for putting off an obvious decision for ten years.
It’s only going to get more expensive. So just do it. At least the province is covering a sizeable chunk.
