Here in Philippines we hear many bad news stories about Edmonton.
In Philippines we do not subsidize any business, and to subsidize one from our
taxes would result in getting rid of those responsible.

Looks like investor backlash against being jewed to pay for other businesses
operated by friends of the mayor has started.

The $35 million Boyle Renaissance Project lost the major investor, now causing
a 10 million dollar shortfall according to QMI news.

Now the developer wants stupid taxpayers to make up the shortfall.

Tuesday 2 November, Octane Racing announced they are no longer
interested in continuing the Indy race, BECAUSE OF MASSIVE LOSSES OF AROUND $3
million this year, on top of $10 million lost the 2 years previous.

Just another damn business demanding stupid taxpayers pay them off.

Looks like Calgary will be benefitting from the Edmonton screwup,
as well as those businesses moving from Deadmonton to Calgary.


Now German bsiess giant SIEMENS is putting billions into Calgary, and creating
thousands of jobs there.

Remember Burgermeister Arschloch of Deadmonton, who deliberately insulted the
German Trade Delegation when they came to attend a meeting the mare had
arraned, and the mare then refused to meet them?

Germans as well as other nationals do not appreciate being told each year that
THEY are the killers of the holohoax.

They alsoresent having to pay their taxes too subsidize a multibillionaire
member of   'the chosen people' for his arena.
