Exactly. It’s pretty easy to be happy with all the cool stuff that comes with the arena and recognize the intangible benefits without fudging the numbers and pretending this is some economic windfall or good deal.
The deal sucks. It’ll cost more public money than it’ll ever return, while the CSEC can easily recoup their investment far easier. It’s corporate welfare. We can recognize that and still enjoy the thing when it’s built. Nobody has to pretend this is anything more than it is.
