Rheem was zero, Longwood is in the 10's of millions from the Tigercats alone. You may think its not enough but its not zero.

You're right, it's not zero, it's less than zero.

Once you add the additional $50-70 million it will cost to upgrade the highway exit and feeder streets, buy the land (CP's price keeps getting higher the more desperate we get), relocate the tenants, remediate the soil, yadda yadda yadda, it's a lot more in additional costs than what the Ticats are willing to invest anywhere. And they're not investing most of it in the actual stadium but in Bob's World next door.

So yeah, bully for the Ticats for kicking in some investment except that the taxpayer actually ends up even worse off at the end of the day.

Meanwhile Molinaro Group, White Star, Katz and Frank Gehry all want to invest in the West Harbour.
