Pro sports in general are hurting in Canada. Vancouver lost the Grizzlies. Winnipeg and Quebec lost NHL franchises. The Blue Jays aren't printing cash either. Molson couldn't afford to keep the Habs.

Vancouver? New Orleans? Portland? Charlotte? Boise?
Aren't you contradicting yourself by saying all these things about Canada, then saying Vancouver could be a good market?
