Well we make less than our counterparts in US o&g, maybe it just stretches across all industries haha.
I can agree with Burkes point on players though. Short career, no plans after, tough to want to come back home to make less money. Im not saying NHL players are underpaid but his point makes sense.
As far as the rink, I live downtown and use it quite often so I'm all for using public money. But I am definitely the minority it seems (at least on beyond, my hockey teams all seem in favor haha)
and yet everyone is screaming for a race track that would cost hundreds of millions yet be used by significantly less people in the area...
i also found it funny that people are saying that Calgary already has a vibrant downtown. go down there on a weeknight and 70% of the stores have no customers or are closed for the day.
