Final Cost of CMHR?
My bet is $488 million....

With all due respect this is a stupid question/poll. Define what these costs are to represent.
Construction costs only? Construction costs plus annual operating costs for "X" years? Construction costs plus annual operating costs plus exhibit development costs? Then after this futile exercise is completed start a poll that asks if we should fund other museums; art galleries; sports facilities and teams; etc... For example, should we invest one cent into the Blue Bombers Stadium? How about a government fund for bringing NHL hockey back to Winnipeg. Should the taxpayer pay one cent for that? |

91% Where do these numbers come from? Are you Marty Gold??? :sly:
In any event, never assume anything. What annoys me, and greatly concerns me, is there seems to be a bias against this particular museum. I do not recall the same firestorm against any other public spending on non-essential initiatives. Including other museums in Winnipeg. That bothers me. The comments made against the people involved is not warranted. That bothers me. But tell me. If the same money were to be made available to the Aspers to bring an NHL team to Winnipeg would you support that? |
yep

oh boy...here we go again....geez, move on big guy...have you nothing else to obsess about?
even if it ends up costing the government another 100 mil, that is only 4 years worth of operating costs and is such a miniscule amount of money in the overall picture that it wont affect anyone's life at all....your taxes wont go up...no programmes will be cancelled to pay for it. there are lots of things i dont love having my tax dollars pay for, (4bil for 4 transport airplanes, 500mil for the floodway expansion, 50mil for route 90 underpass, 12mil for chipman's private business) but i eventually just accept it and move on....seriously man...you need counciling. |

Total Votes: 593 Yes: 9% No : 91% Looks like I struck a nerve. The 9% of Winnipeggers who support additional taxpayers money are about to lynch me! :haha: |
when you beat a dead horse, you are bound to hit a nerve or two i suppose.

And you did not answer the Jet's/NHL question. This leads me to believe a couple things. You are an idiot and a hypocrite? But I don't know you and I'm new here so I won't say that. |

Web polls, web comments, etc. regardless of the source don't mean jack. |

Anywho, still no answer on the Jets/NHL question. That means of course that you approve the money for the Jets but disapprove the same money for the Museum. I get it now. So its both eh? |
This is lame.
The museum is a great thing. Get over it. Sometimes you gotta spend a pile of money on something great. Why don't you go cry wolf over stuff that is worth your effort? You sound like a North Kildonan grandmother. |
Scandalous!.....The 1/2 billion dollars for Holocaust Taj Mahal could help a lot of starving people.
|
Holocaust? This is a holocaust museum?
|
I shall fancy a guess that it'll cost eleventy billion dollars to build.
And it'll require the blood and souls of each first born Winnipeg son just to keep the lights on. Oh, and it'll reduce to the rest of the city to nothing more than a scorched wasteland, where warlords will run free and the Tower of Hope will dominant the skyline, striking fear into the hearts of everyone, just as Saruman's Eye plagued the inhabitants of Middle Earth. Clearly, the worst thing that has ever happened to this city. :rolleyes: |
