Quebec pulls money for World Cup 2026
Montreal was supposed to get a small piece of the FIFA World Cup 2026, but Quebec has pulled the plug on funding it as the projected cost inevitably keeps climbing. La Presse focuses here on city disappointment, particularly the likelihood this will put the games out of reach of the only francophone city in the running to host games for the first three-country World Cup.

Would have been something to have the Olympic stadium host a game or two. With Trudeau showering money on everyone and everything he can think of, hopefully someone puts this in front of him, and the feds can throw another bunch of millions onto the debt to give us this, among the greatest of all circuses.

It’s hard to have any sense how things will be going, and what the public mood will be, by 2026.
