@JayBLirette@DenisL_1981 Nitpicking aside, the product is the best it's ever been imo, the on-ice speaks for itself and the presentation is light years ahead of what it was in the Coliseum days.
@DenisL_1981 Completely agree, but that's specifically a venue issue, not a fanbase issue.
From the get-go, RKI/Avenir should have had curtains installed halfway up both ends. But they'd rather have shitty optics on national TV and a diluted atmosphere in a giant building, apparently.
@ChrisCollins506 Anon in 2026, oh the humanity. This is how you interacted with constituents back in the day?
It's disappointing to see a former prov MLA use their voice to dumb down mun debate on DT issues as merely "lack of policing", rather than byproduct of bad fed+prov policy
@ChrisCollins506 It was - one time, 5 years ago.
Nowhere near that bad since then. The data is freely available to everyone. Not sure why you insist on blatantly lying.
@ChrisCollins506@Altavistagoogle lol - vast majority of cities are up since 2016 obviously.
Context, man. CA+NB have social safety net issues which were badly exposed since 2020.
Your narrative of an anomalous city-specific public safety issue is BS. We see the same issues nearly everywhere in CA outside QC.
@ChrisCollins506 The latest crime severity index data (2024) was the lowest since 2017. The "3rd in Canada" stat was in 2021 and nothing more than a blip, back to well outside the top 10.
But I suspect you already know all this.
@dlicps Early days there was interest, but at that time there was also a very real threat of a Halifax CFL expansion team temporarily playing there for 3-5 years.
CPL expansion fees have skyrocketed since then and changed things drastically. Window is closed imo until that changes
@dlicps @StevenMarcScott@a_miller16 There was a massive torrential downpour while that game was being played which kept loads of people at home, but the dude conveniently left out that bit.
@Altavistagoogle @batt39092 Loads. Anyone with an owner-occupied house assessed near $500k+ has around a $6k+ property tax bill, unless they've owned it long enough to have spike protection.
Non owner occupied you're looking at around $10k I think.

@919TheBendNews The problem isn't e-scooters, the problem is the lack of infrastructure for them (and bikes) to ride on.... especially downtown of all places.
Crossman needs to realize it's the 21st century. At least he's showing his cards now before next year's election.
@DenisL_1981 I have a slightest different take: that's what happens when, as soon as Rimouski won the semis, fans (and team staff!) start saying/implying that the league finals "don't matter" and look ahead to a fucking TV tournament.
This is why I wanted Shawinigan.
@MonctonWildcast@YouTube Winning a super short format tournament without even winning your own league to get there has an enormous asterisk attached to it.
The League championship is everything. Maple Spengler is gravy.
