I'd love to leverage my modest personal charitable donations into 10000x value invested into my business by taxpayers. Maybe I will move back to Alberta after all!

The OP that I quoted insinuated that billionaires are fueled by greed and taking your money is all they are good at...they then gave me instances where that is not the case, funny thing is the instance they gave the person gave away money that someone else actually made...kind of confusing actually, maybe it was hyperbole and I missed it in the post. I am saying there are billionaires that are generous and do care about the community and the cities that they live and for some reason the narrative that the Flames ownership is in it to strictly to make money and screw the city of Calgary is false, they made their money in other business ventures. The fact that the Flames owners are millionaires and billionaires is mutual exclusive of the funding formula for the event center.
