Just because you feel a certain way doesn't make it factual. Educate yourself a little about a city/Province before you go calling people "not patriotic".

Haha, I'm pretty educated about the city and the province, and travel there often, I love it. There a lot of patriotic Canadians there...........and there are a lot of patriotic Quebecois there as well.........who have no interest in cheering for anything "Canada". This is a fact. It's not some ignorant thing I made up, it is a fact that Quebec is a province divided politically, nationalistically and on some level culturally. It's the reason there are frequent separation referendums in that province.........again, it's a fact.
Pointing out that this may impact ticket sales to "Team Canada" games is far from an ignorant statement. It's true it may not be correct, but I was not trying suggest it be fact, just something that could be impacting sales. I also didn't say it was a bad thing, or provide any personal thoughts on it. I work with a large number of people based in Montreal, we talk hockey frequently as many of us are big fans. A handful of my Montreal based colleagues, do not support "Team Canada" anything, their personal beliefs don't align to it. While I will admit I didn't ask them specifically about this tournament, I'd wager those hard core hockey fans I know, will not be shelling out any money to watch Team Canada play in this tournament for that reason. And I don't doubt there are many others like them in the province.
So exactly what do I need to "educate" myself on? Again, way to add about 14000 layers of speculation to my original post, which is exactly what you would have needed to do to jump to my comment of being ignorant. And, don't call me ignorant in your post, then complain about name calling.........that's just ignorant.
