Le stade

I don't pay much attention to sports, but I do love new things!

A proposal from CanWest Global executive David Asper to help build a new $120-million stadium for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers was swiftly met with praise from politicians, including Premier Gary Doer and Mayor Sam Katz.

Freshening up the stadium sounds like a great idea, especially because the public money going into it will be paid off in about six years.

There is some concern about privatizing our team, which is one of 3 community-owned teams remaining in Canada, along with Edmonton and Saskatchewan.

This strikes me as funny for some reason. Probably because Saskatchewan would un-privatize Walmart if it could. Saskatoon's convention centre isn't named after a company, it's named after the Teacher's Credit Union.

I love you Saskatchewan! I love you, new sporting facilities that will potentially house great concerts!
