Toula is correct: it’s a dump and always will be.
Take the money and spend it on something we need, instead of continuing to throw good money after bad.

The businessmen who run the CAQ don’t seem to be familiar with the sunk cost fallacy.

Or maybe they are hoping the public aren’t.

Not that Legault cares what I think…but, yes, I think it’s time to let it go. If the tower can be saved, sure, but the stadium is just a cash black hole. The $2 billion to demolish it does seem crazy, but of course the CAQ won’t consider a study to replace the one that is twenty years old.
