he's supporting it now as a done deal
going on about the subdivisions, but in the article he said
"I don't think that this council would have any intent, or there would be much appetite, in backing off on that," Woolley said, referencing the city's agreement to fund half of the $550-million Calgary Flames arena.
if he was that serious and concerned about city spend, maybe he'd have said something that "everything should be on the table including at this time, paying for a new event centre."
considering the cuts, the arena shouldn't be a sacred cow, that's all. (although I know its a fait accompli)
timing couldn't be worse for building one.
