The #Quebec government will be paying $7 million dollars to the #LosAngelesKings to play a couple of games of #hockey in #QuebecCity, charging fans $150/ticket to attend the games at the #VideotronCentre, owned by #PierreKarlPéladeau, a close friend and ally of the #CAQ, the party currently running the government
Question: where will the money collected from the fans go?
Answer: To Pierre Karl Péladeau, of course
Where I come from, this type of "indirect subsidy" is called #MoneyLaundering
What a disgrace!
«Rather than accept the #MontrealCanadiens' offer 2 play free in #QuebecCity next season, gov has chosen 2 offer $7M for #California 's #LosAngelesKings to do so
The Canadiens confirmed 2 #CTVnews the reports 1st made in #LaPresse that they offered to play for free at #VideotronCentre but were refused
Instead, #Quebec is slated 2 pay between $5 & $7M for 2 LA Kings games, w/ #FinanceMinister #ÉricGirard saying benefits will b worth it»
Rather than accept the Montreal Canadiens' offer to play free games in Quebec City next season, the government has chosen to offer up to $7 million dollars for the California-based LA Kings to do so instead.
