"A new arena is a pre-condition for the return of an NHL franchise to the city. Quebecor CEO Pierre Karl Péladeau – whose interest in buying such a franchise is widely known – also happens to be the driving force behind a new Conservative-friendly television network dubbed Fox News North."

"Last year, Harper won a long-held Bloc Québécois seat in the Lower St-Lawrence area. A subsequent Canadian Press study revealed that the riding of Montmagny-L’Islet-Kamouraska-Rivière-du-Loup had received record heaps of federal stimulus money. "

I didn't know that, (although, it does surprise me in the least)

Good reporting Chantal Hébert, thanks.

(Also, great pic!)

It seems, if I recall, a wise man once said . . . sorry, I meant Severely Hypocritical man once said, regarding the media in Democracies, that they should: "shine a light into dark corners" of government and "assist the process of holding governments accountable”.

I would recommend Chantal for the SH Award for Media Excellence in light shining.

Just think Stephen Harper is spending our money to buy him votes.

If Stephen Harper wants an NHL team in Quebec City then let him, and any other Con that feels that way, invest their own money. If they want to buy votes then let them spend money that has been raised by the Conservative Party of Canada. Isn't that fair, isn't that the morally right thing to do.
