I’m sure Druh Farrell already has other plans for municipal money. Should be a “no” for her again.

Of course they were, the tax payers portion was 80% outside of Calgary had the yes won so it would have been a easy negotiation. I feel we may be back a few steps after the results.

They were late getting a deal finalized. Should be no surprise to continue the trend here.

Interesting comments from Jason Kenney. He seems to have been on the no side with his thank you's to Notley and Farkas

Are we going to deal with rapent speculation of what would have happened with the arena if we had got the games throughout the arena debate? If so please add the 1 billion dollar over run at the end of every post.

So in 2026, Edmonton gets World Cup soccer, likely with some federal cash injected into the city, and Calgary again is the loser in the corner counting the pennies it saved.
This city is pathetic and has lost its ambition. That said, Bidco should be ashamed at what a terrible job they did.
