Why Montreal escaped the World Cup

I knew the World Cup (like the Olympics) was a bad bet but I am amazed at quite HOW bad it is.

I’m proud of Montreal and Quebec for getting this right.

Pretty wild to think that there are FIFA events going down in L.A. where visitors are in danger of being whisked away by ICE to Honduran prison factories.
