Hey! Here's an idea! Let's stop subsidizing billionaire sports team owners! We could save... approximately $7 million!
Sure, let's keep feeding the white elephant. 🙄
Instead of feeding the people.
Because that's exactly the amount that food banks were asking for to keep up with increasing demand.
Un criss de bon point
Holy balls I hate this piece of shit motherfucker.
Le secteur publique en gréve, les banques alimentaires demandent l'aide, les systèmes de transport aussi, l’épicerie et le logement coûte cher en tabarnak, plein d’itinérants dans les villes... et le gouvernement provincial dépense $7 millions dans un calisse de match de hockey qu'aurait pu être gratuit.
I mean he’s not simply just paying for 2 pre-season games. He’s trying to bring a professional team to Quebec. So is it a waste of $7M, probably. But if you were trying to get your own team this is probably the route you’re gonna have to take. If successful, the returns will certainly be more than the money spent
While this could be a profitable enterprise, Legault is not running the province with the surplus necessary to make this kind of gambles. The house is on fire and he is looking at building a pool in the backyard.
The returns to whom? The billionaire team owners?
To the 'economy!'
aka. rich people's boat and house fund.
