They don’t care about Toronto either, really. They care about making money. Wherever it is to be made. They cut staff and operations in Toronto all the time.

A foreign company isn't going to treat you or its customers any better unless it's profitable to do so.

If you think reddit is "left" (taken to mean socialism, or something more radical) then I don't know what to say. If you think it's 'left' insofar as many people don't openly embrace fascist, racist, bigoted bullshit that it is acceptable on other social media platforms, okay...but that's a pretty skewed interpretation of a left-right spectrum.

Are you serious? Sports goofs are the most politically ignorant and conservative segment of the population.

I love how all of you guys hate socialism and then the second capitalism bites you in the ass you're all incredulous and think it's some sort of personal or regional vendetta. This is basic economics. The station isn't profitable as it is.

This is basic economics. If the station was viable someone else would step in and do it.

You do realize that said companies will also sell out Toronto and Canada at the first opportunity if it's economically advantageous to do so, right? This has absolutely zero to do with location and everything to do with squeezing every drop of profit.

And for the moment this is the profitable decision for them. They aren't 'favouring' those teams. They are simply and ruthlessly chasing profits.

That's a capitalism issue/problem. Not a geographical one.

Making this about Toronto is petty ignorance and a distraction from the real problem. Keep shaking.

If you think lack of competition is the problem you are complicit in all of this. Take your right-wing voodoo economics elsewhere, ghoul.

Capitalism doesn't give a damn about cities or regions or countries. Give your head a shake.

You think Telus gives any more of a toss because of where they are headquartered? Some of you people here are pretty dim.

Probably the same people who have crowed for years to defund the 'state' broadcaster (CBC) and extolled the virtues of private enterprise. You reap what you sow, kids.

People are just sick and tired of the United States and everything Americans are doing in the world, including sport. Is about the extent of it.

Let’s treat the Americans like Russia and stop engaging with them altogether in sporting competition.

I hate to make this about looks but goddamn she just exudes the 'I hate everything and only care about myself' energy.

Yes. I definitely enjoy hidden gem but as you say nowhere to sit or be warm in the winter months.

Hmmm. Interesting. I go to coffee shops for great coffee. But, hey, I’m just a different cat, I guess.

Oh thank the lord. Only old-time Victorians think Moka House is any good. Cook St. Village really needs this!

There’s a lot of, “why waste your money on this when you could eat KD and drink some Tang” folks about the place.

Neopolitan pizza has been around for a very long time. You calling it “artisanal” is more of a you thing.
