15,000 temporary jobs. Not near as important as you think. $4Billion injected into the economy? You're not buying that baloney are you? Oh...I guess you are. New field house? Nobody cares about that.

So all of the items Calgary would have received that you are saying don't really have value include:
1. Top notch year-round fieldhouse for the city
2. New mid-sized arena for the University of Calgary area
3. $1B in salaries translating to 15,400 jobs for Calgarians
4. Over 1,200 low income housing units
5. $4B injected into the Calgary economy
6. Upgraded facilities across the board, ensuring the city's leadership position for winter sports for decades into the future
I get that people place different value on things, but to say that 15,000 jobs for Calgarians and a new fieldhouse "weren't really of value" is a little bit tainted of a comment. |
