What a scumbag to have a minister of transportation. Hopefully he leaves his bottle at home.

Does this really need a press conference again. Provincial funding officially approved, yawn ok, big deal. Anything else? Nope, we'll start working now.

Has anyone on CP been there and can speak to the sightlines at Little Caesers?

IS funding really announced if you have only ONE press conference?

Of course it needs a press conference its all about keeping those poll numbers up.

This is nothing but another publicity stunt.

Generally what I've seen from hockey media members and people on twitter that have been to Little Caesers is that it's easily the best rink in the NHL from a viewing and in-seat perspective.

Inverted bowl seems to be the way to go for this stuff for sure.

Funding approved (as an investment loan from the APP - conditional on approval of the latter)

If funding were cancelled, I’m sure our mayor would’ve been on twitter blaming someone else for it by now.
That’s the way she rolls.

Which is still only 1/4 of the funds, with most of that going to infrastructure and some to the community rink. So thanks Danielle for another big presentation to try to put yourself as the front face of this but the meat of the project is still the unfinalized deal between CoC and CSEC for the actual rink funding.
