As for allocation of funds etc - well that's Canada for you. No one in my family uses the transit system anymore in any capacity. Why is my family funding Transit projects? Or the libraries? Or the YMCAs? I don't complain about any of those issues so then people need to stop complaining about public funds being used for the arena and east village redevelopment.
Everyone can have their sense of entitlement when it comes to how general taxpayer funds are used.

I would've been on board for building the arena, buying the team off of the current ownership, and forming a city corp, like Enmax that ran the entertainment portfolio and building.
That would've been a great outcome for tax payers.
