No stampede to fund Calgary stadium
Those unreconstructed communists who run Canada may throw money at things like health care, but they have a lot to learn from the U.S. about handing out government cash to sports franchises. The Calgary Stampeders football team is looking to build a new facility to get out of its lease at McMahon Stadium, but local officials say they won't be getting public money to do it: "This government just does not give grants to private companies," provincial spokesman Gordon Turtle told the Calgary Herald. "It's not going to happen." Why that's positively ... un-American!
