Baseball group already has hand out
Stephen Bronfman’s Groupe Baseball Montréal is already begging for public money for a stadium. All the people who’ve said “Fine, so long as it doesn’t take any public money” should hang their heads. If it’s allowed to happen, we will be the stooges.

How out of touch do you have to be to look at the current state of the world, and say to yourself that this is the perfect time for an expensive vanity project that requires large crowds?
I’m also tempted to think that if he really wants CAQ support he should offer to build it in St-Jean. Maybe he can even get a REM extension thrown in. Or hey, here’s an idea, maybe some of the land around Mirabel airport.

Well, the stadium wouldn’t be finished until about 4 years from now if we would start tomorrow to build (if you look at how long it took for the latest MLB stadiums). So forget your crowd problem, there won’t be any by then.

Legault claiming baseball players would pay income taxes which the province would then turn over to other companies to convince them to move here isn’t even the steamiest pile of BS he’s dumped in the past year, but it’s close.
