Hmmm... this feels a bit like a wannamaker all over again but with Google Reviews. Who's in?

I like this better. But kudos on the mental image.

For June 2024, $104,943,769 non tax receipted income (only $471k receipted); $28,351,379 expensed on licenses, memberships and dues, $54,070,921 on “other expenditures”. There was $86,536,009 in total expenditures. Of that, only $1,716,715 was on charitable activities; $83,497,321 was spent on fundraising

So $1. 7M to charity and $83.4M to fundraising activities?
If that's even close to accurate, that's criminal.

Yes, and Edmonton Police Services should be looking into this immediately!! Not only is that organization disgusting but also criminal!!

I need to E=NG rant.

I feel like everyone is taking crazy pills with the bring the Cup back to Canada talk. Will they carve Canada's Team into the Cup? Will they carve the Alberta Oilers into the Cup? Are people not thinking more than 5 minutes into the future, especially Flames fans? Think of the Oilers fans coming to the next game at the dome in their nice shoes and sweat pants. Won't be Canada's cup then.

Do people not understand how obnoxious this fan base already is? There is probably a slime ball law office in Edmonton planning a class action action lawsuit against the refs if they lose.

The Oilers organization is the equivalent of the Simpsons digging that hole for sunken treasure, digging past it searching for more saying "no dig up stupid." Yet somehow despite their best efforts they were gifted with a golden horseshoe so large they couldn't inept it out of existence.

I am glad there is sanity here on CP and we have memories longer than goldfish. I also have two stalwarts at my office that are holding strong against our longest rivals.

In closing E=NG and there will be nothing sweeter than the Oilers face planting on the biggest stage in this sport.

Nope. The amounts that are receipted are being spent on Charity, as required under the Income Tax Act. Unreceipted amounts are a non-issue in that respect. They are receipts from a lottery, and are relatively unrestricted.

I do hate to say that….

Yeah, thats the issue. Only $471k was receipted, per CRA. $104M non receipted income. Confirmed $1,716,715 spent on charitable activities, while $83M spent on "fundraising". What are you trying to say?

[Reggie Dunlop]

Ignominious, dastardly and vile organization.

Davies is awesome. It's too bad he grew up in Edmonton and has no ties to a better hockey team or any other hockey team in general because E=NG.

We need him to be huge in the World Cup next year.

What they ar doing is not criminal (ie “legal”).

It is, nonetheless, odious.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Grubby, malodorous and congenitally unmannered.

Of course it's not illegal, the numbers come from actual CRA filings so it's not like they're trying to hide it and CRA is clearly aware.

What should be looked at is 50/50 licensing rules as per the AGLC as all 50/50 raffles require a gaming license. The limitations on use of proceeds is very strict and the Oilers Foundation is in clear violation and the license should be revoked if AGLC were to investigate. But AGLC owns Play Alberta so AGLC will always turn a blind eye. If a youth sports team held raffles and used money like the Oilers Foundation, they would lose their license immediately and face a criminal investigation (as per the AGLC).

The only reason that more money isn't paid out to charities is because the Oilers and the people running it are giant pieces of **** and allowed to because they're already in bed with the AGLC.

Garbage people behind a garage organization. E=NG.

E truly does = NG, a universal constant from the big bang to the heat death of the universe.

Is it really a surprise when the owner of the team has been accused of pressuring young women (allegedly) by promising to get them into showbiz.

How would Canada know if he is good or not, he is injured 40% of every season.
