Exclusive: Alberta government quietly gave the NHL $4 million during pandemic

Extremely infuriating, but honestly - is anyone shocked?

The NHL is literally the epitome of corporate connections, and that’s how Kenney is in power and basically the only reason he’s in power (aside from what I would like to call collective ignorance) is because of his executive buddies. Of course they gave money to the NHL. They literally gave billions of dollars in corporate tax cuts to companies who were posting profits yet consistently doing layoffs rather than do anything with that money to actually benefit Albertans.

They literally made a War Room. (Which we don’t even know how many MILLIONS of dollars went to... sigh) but honestly this didn’t surprise me in the slightest.

I’m hoping that in 2023, Albertans remember all of this fucked up shit that the UCP has done when they vote. I fear by then, when we have a vaccine and the pandemic has finally eased up (I hope anyways... gah) they will somehow find a way to weasel their way back into power again because some people are just... that. Stupid.
