Made this as a response to participating in THE FIFA World Cup in Vancouver…
It felt like FIFA held Football hostage and demanded a ransom from the fans.
Which many of us paid…
For the love of the game!

We’ve needed a political leader in Canada talking like this on the airwaves for at least a decade, so, great
Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."
