People on the govt funded CBC website complaining about something else that is govt funded, irony at its finest.

I guess the folks in Quebec don't understand that they actually have to put an application into the P3 fund before they can be approved for the funding. :)

Interesting column from the Leader Post today:
MANDRYK: Federal politics might still block Saskatchewan's drive for stadium cash Quote:

Usually I enjoy reading Mandryk's columns, however I'm not sure where he gets his stats from to say that support for a dome stadium is waning. There hasn't been an official poll taken on the issue since 2009. He dismisses the feasiblity study that was done which showed that the domed stadium could turn a modest profit. He also dismisses the fact that compared to Quebec City, the Regina proposal has a much more detailed business plan, a pre-selected site and a professional sports team that is here now and wants a new facility to move in to. Mandryk doesn't give enough credit for the footwork that has already been done on this project. He just comes out and says that the Feds should not contribute. There is over 1 billion dollars in the P3 fund that the government WILL spend. Why not spend a bit in Saskatchewan? Not that I'm against asking tough questions on the viability of this project but I think his bias comes through a little too much in this article. |

It's clear from most of Mandryk's columns that he isn't in favour of the stadium. But I don't know how this is any different Kevin Blevin's "articles" (which are posted here as well), which read like press releases from the backers of this project. His bias is clearly in favour of the stadium, and are opinion pieces just as Mandryk's are. I guess we'll see in February whose columns were "right"... |

I agree, neither the for or against side should be claiming that their view is more popular until a new poll is done. (if one ever gets done). Having said that, I'm not sure the numbers would move that much from 09 anyways which showed the province pretty much split. |
