For Edmonton elected officials watching Calgarys unfolding arena drama, its like a dj vu. As the Flames and city council trade public punches over efforts to replace the aging Saddledome, its a scenario all too familiar to Edmonton city Coun. Tony Caterina, particularly over implied threats to move the team if deals for a new arena fall through. We had that threat I think at least three times, Caterina recalls. They used it as leverage to get public sentiment on their side. Hes referring to a September 2.

The 1. Caterina was vocally opposed to at the time. Even though I didnt like the financial agreement, its complete night and day now, he said. I wish we could have negotiated a better deal, but it looks like its going to be beneficial to both the hockey club and the City of Edmonton. Caterina isnt the only one drawing parallels. Watch Wolves At The Door Online Hollywoodreporter there. Dr. Moshe Lander, professor of sport economics at Montreals Concordia University who also occasionally teaches in Edmonton and Calgary, sees similarities between the two deals on the surface. The structure of the deals are very similar, the war of words looks similar, he said. I dont know if the outcome will be similar. The difference, he says, are rooted not only in the varied economics of the two cities, but also the circumstances. The data doesnt seem to show a new arena, by itself, will rejuvenate downtown or whatever particular region you place it, he said. If theres rejuvenation already underway, if theres development already underway, then for sure the arena can help, but it just doesnt do it by itself. Rogers Place was the lynchpin of a massive rejuvenation project of neglected railway lands in downtown Edmonton, said city Coun. Bryan Anderson.  I was in favour from the outset, and Im even more in favour today, he said. It was a 5. NHL. Not only did the city get ownership of the arena, Anderson said the city is free from ownership, maintenance and capital replacement costs over the same time period not to mention revenue from a community revitalization levy CRL. Essentially a property tax on the growth of downtown real estate values, the CRL revenue pays for roughly 3.

I asked how much that develop permit value was at in June, and I was told it was 3. Calgary shouldnt expect to reap the same rewards that Edmonton saw from Rogers Place, says Lander. A new Saddledome is not going to accelerate whats already happening in the East Village, Lander said. Not when the Saddledome, the BMO Centre and the Stampede grounds are already there this isnt going to accelerate or rejuvenate or add anything to whats already going on. While a shiny new arena is a nice boon for any city, Lander said it isnt going to make the Flames a better hockey team any more than Rogers Place did for the Oilers. Ten years of crappy performance is whats going to make Edmonton successful as a hockey team if you get enough No. He doesnt disagree the Saddledome is showing its age, especially in light of a billion dollar, decades long modernization at Madison Square Garden, home ice for the New York Rangers and currently the NHLs oldest arena. The idea of a new arena is not a bad one, Lander said. Should it be with taxpayer moneyNo. On Twitter bryanpassifiume. EDMONTON ARENA DEALTotal project cost 6.

Riaz Mamdani breaks silence on Mount Royal shooting Calgary News. When millionaire real estate developer Riaz Mamdani was shot six times outside of his Mount Royal mansion in December, he still had the wherewithal to phone 9. Bleeding heavily and in pain, he spoke with the operator until help arrived and then walked to the ambulance. In his first media interview since the shooting, Mamdani told Postmedia he was on his way to a weekly board meeting at his Strategic Group on the morning of Dec. The bullets struck his lower lip, left cheek, left ear, left arm and his chest. Although the shooter appeared to have aimed at his head and heart, where the wounds could have been fatal, he survived. I sure feel lucky, he said, sitting in a boardroom at his companys downtown offices, the scars on his lip and cheek still visible. I remember an awful lot of blood. I remember an awful lot of pain. I was thinking of keeping my family calm and reassured, and dealing with the issues. Police officers and reporters converged on Upper Mount Royal, an inner city neighbourhood home to some of Calgarys wealthiest citizens, that morning following reports of gunfire. Mamdani, a father of four, had been behind the wheel of a Rolls Royce Ghost outside his sprawling, 7. The luxury vehicles front end was damaged, which suggests he was barricaded by the attacker before he was shot. A Hyundai Santa Fe was later discovered on fire in an alley nearly two kilometres south of the scene. Mamdani believes it was the getaway car. Police said they were looking for a male suspect wearing a bright orange jacket in what they called a targeted attack, but have not released any further details since the shooting. All they will say is the investigation remains active. They have a task force on this. I have met with them, Mamdani said. I have full confidence in their skill set theyre paying attention to finding what happened and who did it. It was a sensational crime pulled from the pages of a Hollywood script A polarizing real estate tycoon shot by a lone gunman in one of the citys safest neighbourhoods. The plots central character, a wealthy philanthropist with his name on an opera house, has also amassed a long list of grievances and litigations. Mamdani arrived in Calgary as a refugee in the 1. But he is a divisive figure in his adoptive home city, where Mayor Naheed Nenshi calls him incredibly important, while hundreds of real estate investors accuse him of wrongdoing in an ongoing class action lawsuit. There were three bullet holes in the front windshield of Mamdanis Rolls Royce, and three more in the drivers side window. Judging by Mamdanis build, three of the bullets appear to have targeted his head, the other three at his chest, said Carlo Galasso, the head dealer at Rolls Royce Motor Cars Alberta, which had Mamdanis damaged vehicle in its shop. Galasso said Rolls Royce prides itself on extreme occupant protection. The luxury vehicles, he said, come with the strongest windshield on the planet. After observing the bullet holes that riddled Mamdanis car, Galasso said at least some of the rounds appear to have deflected across the glass before they flew into the vehicles cabin. Im not a ballistics expert, but you can tell the bullets struggled to penetrate the glass, he said. If he was driving any other vehicle in the world, hed be dead. Since the early 1. Mount Royal has been an exclusive neighbourhood for some of Calgarys most affluent residents. A swath of the neighbourhood straddles a hilltop Upper Mount Royal which teems with extravagance. Mature trees surround elaborate landscaping, sometimes with dramatic outdoor staircases leading to brick or stone facades with marble pillars and upper floor terraces. One of the Upper Mount Royal mansions was built by Albert Adrian Dick in 1. Vera, survived the sinking of the Titanic while on their honeymoon. Mamdani and his wife, Zainool, bought the property at auction for 2. We think we got a bargain, Mamdani, then known as co founder of the software company Jawz Inc., said at the auction. The sprawling property is enclosed with a black fence. An electronic security gate, complete with an intercom system and camera, is designed to keep intruders out, while private security guards monitor the grounds. Despite the relative safety enjoyed by residents of Upper Mount Royal, where violent crime is rare, Mamdani had hired the security guards years before the shooting. He said the decision was not related to his job, but to protect his wealth and ensure somebodys home while he travels. I dont think there was any particular threat at all, he said. With my lifestyle, having security around made sense. Mamdani, who was hospitalized for a week after the shooting, is still doing physiotherapy for his arm. He said he has no idea who would want to hurt him. I dont have a prime suspect. I simply dont know, he said. I dont think I have more enemies than other people in business. I dont think I have enemies I know of that would want to shoot me, he said. I dont go about my life trying to make enemies. Born in Uganda in the late 1. Mamdani, the eldest of two boys, was four years old when his family fled the East African country as refugees following an expulsion of Asians. They settled in Calgary in July 1. His father, Ali, got a job in real estate, and continues to be a broker in Calgary. Being the child of first generation immigrants, you end up with an over protective mom who doesnt think you should play ice hockey because, for sure, youll catch a cold, he said. We had a very cultured upbringing where we were able, my brother and I, to take advantage of everything that our new home had to offer. When he was ready for university, his parents wanted him to go to medical school. Unable to deal with pain and blood, he chose a degree in pharmacy at the University of Manitoba. But his passion was in business, so he pursued a law degree, thinking law is a perfect foundation for a career in business. While at the University of Calgarys law school in the 1. After practising law for only a few months, he jumped ship to business.
