Premier Smith promises more than $300M from province for new Calgary arena as elections approach
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, a day after linking $330 million in provincial money for a Calgary NHL arena project to her United Conservatives getting re-elected, told reporters Wednesday she hopes it doesn’t become an election issue.Notley said Smith has openly and directly tied the $1.2-billion project to the ballot box and is now obligated to give voters as much information as possible so they can make an informed decision.
The election campaign begins Monday, and the six-to-eight-week deadline takes it past the May 29 polling day.“Danielle Smith is the only one of those parties who suggested that support of this deal should be on the ballot. And if she’s going to do that, then she has to be sharing that information. That’s all there is to it.”
“I’m really hopeful that the next government – regardless of who it is – is going to honour the deal.” Smith was also asked why she now supports the project given that years earlier, as Opposition Wildrose leader, she rejected the concept of using public money for such massive private ventures as an NHL arena.
