On Radio-Canada this morning Quebec City mayor Bruno Marchand open to the city bidding on the 2030 winter Olympics since British Columbia bowed out earlier this month. This would likely be Canada's last chance at getting a 10th large stadium built in the country and providing the capability of adding a 10 th CFL franchise.

Let's get real... there's always another chance.

There are always solutions at hand. A few dozen metres of fill at the summit of Mont Ste-Anne could make all the difference in the world. :) Of course, to sooth local sensitivities, we could remove the reference to "Englishman" in the above movie poster and replace it with "pur laine Quebecois"....... :runaway: |
I wish we would stop wasting our tax dollars on Olympics and Olympic Bids. I do think QC would be a great host though.

*Think of how awesome that name would sound in international broadcasts! Apparently Le Massif is missing about 70 metres which is something that could be done to make it suitable for the Olympics. There are other places that could also be suitable but that don't have ski hills at the moment, like the Acropole des Draveurs also in Charlevoix (Google the name for incredible pictures) and even the Monts Chics-Chocs in the Gaspésie. Though the latter is quite some distance away. |

I could get behind a Quebec City bid in spite of my serious misgivings about the IOC, but not if it includes venues in NY State, for example. If we host them here, let's host them here. |

A day of reckoning is likely coming when those expansion fees dry up..unless the league can significantly increase their revenues at that point. |

If the league starts with seven/eight teams and only one is in an ownership bubble then that's probably not too bad. Edmonton will get sorted out eventually, whether it's folding the team temporarily or forging forward with what's there now. There's obviously appetite in Edmonton for soccer. The rest of the teams all seem to be more-or-less fine from an ownership standpoint. |

Sell the team for a loss and let the owner spend the remainder on the team. |
