You're not going to pretend that isn't true, are you?

I don't think we will know how bad it is (hilarious or otherwise) until we have all the details. I'm holding out hope the additional money spent will significantly improve area infrastructure and there can be good public benefit from the non event centre areas built. There is a chance to tie the BMO expansion, new entertainment district, studio bell/east village/central Library together into an amazing area.
If they can do a really good job of that it's maybe just a slightly bad deal. If they do none of that then it's a hilariously bad deal.
