Quebec, the city that lost the best young team in the NHL, the Nordiques, to Denver who then went on to win the Cup, wants back in the league.
Marianne White in today's Ottawa Citizen wrote that "Efforts to lure a National Hockey League team back to Quebec City intensified Tuesday as the province announced it will pay 45 per cent of the construction cost of a projected $400-million hockey arena. Quebec Premier Jean Charest said a feasibility study for an NHL-sized 18,000-seat arena showed it would be profitable, but only if the construction costs are entirely paid by public funds."
The City of Quebec will pay ten per cent of the cost and the feds will kick in the other 45.
Unless it is for the wrong reason, votes, there is no reason for the Tories to be sending your money to either Regina or Quebec for sports facilities. I love my sports but lets do bread before circuses.
