If he's getting the rights to all the land around the arena, he should have paid for more of the arena.
Oh well. When I'm collecting bottles to pay out of pocket for health care, it will be ok, as the Flames got a new arena out of it.

It also gave them first rights to buy the land which the Bus Barn sits on for 6 years after they moved into the arena IIRC but the city was not obligated to make that land available for development within that time frame.

Okay, so if it's free land being given to CSEC, that's one thing, but if it's just first rights of refusal (assuming fair market value), I have no issue with it.
It seems like a fair question for Notley to ask, and something we should be able to know.
