I love the last quip, where it results in no increase to taxes, because building it was already baked into our already overinflated property tax rates
Where do people think the money that goes into that fund comes from? Santa?

Just ripped away whatever leverage they had, and now here we are.
Doing some quick maths on this "Investment", the rate of "return" on this project is a whopping 1.38%.
Good Job CoC.

Can’t put a price on memories? As a community member of a Calgary suburb, I firmly support the CoC spending as much money as humanly possible on a new shiny entertainment venue.

Tbh that's not bad. IF (big if of course) the cost overruns aren't crazy ... the fact that they basically get their money back minus inflation (give or take) is actually pretty decent.

Considering at the end of the day it’s a business deal with a for profit entity, no it’s not a good deal for the city.
I’d rather they reduce my property taxes and let me earn my own return on my money and pay for my share of the arena myself.
