Quebecers are about to kick off brainstorming sessions on the future of one of Canada's biggest white elephants: Montreal's Olympic Stadium.

"Quebecers are about to kick off brainstorming sessions" If that isn't a Oxymoron.

On a serious note.
Why would we knock the stadiums over and destroy millions of dollars of development? Keep them up to date and current. When an Olympic even is scheduled and Canada gets the bid, move it from east, to central and then to the west. IT seems to be a total throw away of cash to move it all over Canada!!

What are your thoughts, maybe someone who has the power to be, might hear about it!!

Not stadiums. One stadium. One albatross that is a monstrous money pit that does nothing to support itself and costs millions of dollars a year to keep.

Bomb it.

I expect this is very big sore spot for Montrealers, seeing that only couple of years ago they made the final payments the debit from 1976 Olympic's.
