I'm all for the Olympics if not one cent of ALBERTA and Canada tax payer money goes towards it. If Calgary and the immediate area think it's a great idea then by all means...fund it yourselves and swing away.
Great way for Nenshi to get around building a new arena funded by Calgary only though. Wonder if Calgary residents will be good enough to retroactively toss some cash up to Edmonton to help cover our new arena. Fair is fair right.
Socialist provincial government with socialist big city mayor = spend spend spend money we/they don't have.
