And you forgot to say:
count the extra money in my account due to lower taxes which are not paying to help a multi-million dollar hockey team put a bunch of over-paid guys on ice and make money off the tax payers.
I am all for a new arena as I think Calgary could use it, but no way in hell that the tax payers should be involved in this. The revenue this place would generate and the flames and NHL should pay for this, not us.
If there are people that want their tax money to pay for this, maybe set up a go fund me or something. Just a thought. I would rather the city spend my tax money on crappy roads that need repairs and other more vital services.
