But the government does that all the time for a ton of different industries. It’s just less public facing, so people don’t get bent out of shape on it.
Given more money, politicans will always waste it. Usually on million dollar art installations and fancy walking bridges, rather than something useful (roads, schools, paying teachers, libraries, tax reductions). At least with a rink as a hockey fan I get SOMETHING out of it.

Exactly. How many people getting out of a shiny new Ford pickup truck remembers the billions in government bailouts handed out to automakers that can’t run their businesses competently. The argument is old and we have heard it hundreds of times here yet posters come back because they follow the Flames or whatever sport and can’t come to grips with the business model that comes with the territory and will never change. Without the taxpayer money we wouldn’t have the Calgary Flames just like you wouldn’t have your shiny new domestic pickup truck without taxpayer money keeping the automakers afloat. Humans have become such whiners. Go enjoy life and quit worrying about things you have no control over.
