Accountants AND experts? Cool.
And who did she "learn" this information from? Apparently every councillor voted for it, so it wouldn't make sense one of them leaked this secret clause.
It certainly didn't come from CSEC or the UCP.
Im not a huge fan of the deal myself but also live in reality and understand it was always going to break down to something along these lines. Expecting the ownership group to build it entirely on there own dime was pie in the sky fantasy at best once the Edmonton deal was agreed too.
Its why I cannot understand the viotrol being hurled at Smith (well i can but its pretty clear its because its her and little to do with this agreement) while the city/Gondek aren't being roasted for agreeing to it.
If its such a bad deal....why sign it? I'm guessing they figured out that getting some private investment was better than nothing and know this needs to get done or its pretty likely the club would be movin on at some point.

I've never read
Oedipus Rex but I can tell you it is about a guy who ####s his mom. You can be suspicious that it is a bad deal even if you haven't read it's contents. Right now Notley is the leader of the opposition it is her job to scrutinize the party in power.
RE: frustration with Smith. I am frustrated because of the political timing of the announcement. Turning the Arena deal into more of a political game than it already was is frustrating to watch.
