For whatever reason, it fell apart.

Will my taxes go up because of this? No doubt.

But I’ve also been watching my taxes go up for my entire adult life, and never once has a tax increase come with a new arena.

This one does, and I can live with it.
At least this is an honest answer and not trying to spin it as something amazing for the city. I appreciate it more than world class city stuff.

CSEC gets the money from the other events. Flames games won’t drive tourism and concerts are negligible when most big acts will hit up Vancouver and Edmonton. It’s fine if you want an arena, it’s just a #### deal.
