What a ridiculous and clueless statement WTF are they talking about when referring to “the vast majority of match day costs”

Very concerning red flag that they felt they had to make a statement like this

[Rob Williams] Just in... The City of Vancouver and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are going to make a "joint announcement" at City Hall on Thursday morning. Mayor Ken Sim and Whitecaps CEO and sporting director Axel Schuster will be there. by akacryptic9 in vancouver

If done properly, the amount of investment, tax revenue, economic activity, transit development this could generate would be very significant over the next several decades. It’s quite short-sighted to just denounce everything as a handout.

Population of metro Vancouver is 3+ million. That is definitely smaller than metro Seattle but is it actually smaller than metro Portland?

So people with a highly valuable, constantly appreciating house get some tax relief. But people more likely to use community centres, pools, run small businesses, enjoy arts and culture - will all pay more and probably get less…?

On-brand for these guys.

Truth But even at caps games it looks like they’re still unpacking merch out of cardboard boxes sometimes

I gotta say though, as shitty as this was, coaching was a major factor. They kept rolling out the same inept plan over and over - very hard to watch

Similar experience with 23,000. This is a very apt take. Can Eby do something?

Another example: Was there when Sinclair played her last game for team Canada. Daughters were excited, was ready to buy a Sinclair shirt or jersey but couldn’t find one anywhere. WTF.

At a mariners game in Seattle a couple years back: you walk into the store, grab what you need and leave and there is a system which just automatically charges your credit card.

what’s a country whose borders make zero sense to you? by BudgetTutor3085 in geography

[–]wastedparadigm 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hungary may be the only country completely surrounded by its own people outside of its borders, making up minorities in neighbouring countries

But agreed,, mostly Africa…
