However I am but one person, and what with a job, family and what at least I call a life, I do not have the unlimited time which it would take to chronicle them. But here's a start. I cannot believe the Federal Government is actually considering giving 15 million dollars to NHL team owners. I am a hockey fan and realize the importance Canadians give our national sport. I guess those days are gone.
Hockey is now a business, nothing more.
This is readily admitted by the league, owners and players. The argument that NHL teams generate million of dollars for the economy and the government and therefore deserve a tax break is, in my opinion, ridiculous. Would the money normally spent on tickets, souvenirs, food, etc. No, of course not. It would just as quickly be spent on other goods and services which would in turn generate jobs and taxes.
