Not saying I think you're wrong (I seem to remember seeing the information that might back it up), but where does it say the city's contribution is a loan?
Just because Calgarians got screwed by a bad deal giving corporations a property tax break the first time, and just because other cities do, does not mean we have to give the Flames one this time.
