And has admirably supported the Ti-cats all these years!  You just lost a 
friend buddy!  Why should Hamilton get the Jets, when they've got 
Toronto, Buffalo and Ottawa all within a closer drive than anything 
around here.  If the Jets leave, the nearest teams will be in Calgary and 
Edmonton, 10-12 hours away by car.  Of course, there's no guarantee 
they'll stay put either.  Beisdes, Hamilton itself is a little smelly 
city.  Why not just give the franchise to a nice, clean place like 
Mississauga, and let the Hamiltonians commute?
