- He lied about pulling the troops. America's biggest expense. I can barely count on one hand all the wars America is now involved in.
- He bailed out the big banksters in America, who are now moving their HQ's to China as a thank you.
- He bailed out banksters in other countries like here in Canada and the UK for example.
- 35,000,000 Americans meanwhile are on food stamps. What's the population of Canada again?
- He continues to let the Fed screw the American people out of their hard earned money. Imagine if a private corporation controlled the printing of Canadian currency and charged the Canadian government interest on their own currency? Imagine if the corporation had total immunity, could not be audited, answered to no one?
I can go on for a while with on this one if you want to take this debate to PM.
That said, why would the NBA move a team back to a failed market when there are other markets with just as much potential, if not more? I'd love to see a team in Vancouver or Montreal but I don't see it on the horizon.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

quebecois dont care about basketball
ADD Charles basically covered it, but as I've said before, if you were at the QPBT (Quebec Provincial Basketball Tournament) you would see SOLD OUT arenas for High School and College kids, much like the US, that no one outside of Quebec has heard of. And yet NOW these kids are finally getting recruited to NCAA because the QBF actually takes the time to nurture and develop young stars, much like Spain or France has been doing for years. Canada as a whole, needs to take a lesson from Quebec Sport.Last edited by Joey; Tue Mar 8, 2011, 11:30 PM.

And I am from Montreal. Living in Toronto, but I know that Quebec embraces SPORT.
And basketball IS one of the finest sports ever created. Quebec and Montreal Sport Fans are well aware of this.

Go at a college game and you'll see that ther is alot of basketball fans. It's always sold out. The Raptors game was sold out. There is A lot of high school an college teams and the level of play is really good. What else do you need?

I mean no offense by this at all.. but how old are you Raptors_?
Montreal is very literally one of the funnest, most enjoyable cities in all of North America. And MANY have acknowledged this.
IF you're looking to find more Girls, Booze, Strippers, Chronic, Scenery, History etc. You want Montreal, and thats more than you will ANYWHERE else in Canada. And the US for that matter.
US Athletes LOVE Canada. Our Strippers actually take their clothes off.
(If that is inappropriate I apologize, but it is a legitimate argument for athletes.)Last edited by Joey; Wed Mar 9, 2011, 12:03 AM.

I mean anyway... Why not just give it a try? They already have a huge arena. There is a whole lot of fans from all around the world. The city is far from being boring. And as for the temperature... NY, Boston, Philly, New Jersey, Toronto are not far from the same. Why would Cleveland or Minnessota have a team and not Montreal? If it doesn't work, ok, then the team go away. As for now, how can we know if it would work if we don't try it?
