Rick Gibbons of the Ottawa Sun
Gibbons reports that Senators owner Eugene Melnyk wanted a portion of the proceeds raised by the foundation, whose focus has been on supporting youth programs, to go to organ donation awareness. Melnyk underwent a successful a liver transplant in 2015. Additionally, Gibbons reports that high rent charges charged by Melnyk to the foundation have been a"sore point" for the two sides. Gibbons adds that"charging rent is not believed to be a common practice by other sports franchises with charitable foundations."
City of Ottawa needs to tell Mr. Melnyk to GET TA STEPPIN.
Only with the Senators would a Foundation cut ties with them. LOL!!!! Unbelievable! This is the first time I’ve heard of this happening.
He was charging them rent 😂 it doesn’t get any better than this. Until next week

Looks like Uuuugene lost some more bets... what a joke. Just give the team to Quebec before this clown does more damage.
Worst owner ever in the history of nhl
He ran the Senators with an extremely tight budget before the pandemic, can’t imagine what’s going to take place now after he’s lost so much money. They might go back to flying coach with everyone else and staying at the Budget Motel.

Why do I have to be a fan of this pathetic excuse for hockey franchise. WHYYYYY

Marches in Ottawa, Toronto to honour Black lives lost at hands of policeDemonstrators plan to march from Parliament Hill through Ottawa streets in mid-afternoon today to honour Black lives lost at the hands of police. I want off this planet. You have all gone insane. I hope these Yahoo's don't yell to loud Dr Tam: Go to protests, but don’t yell. Yelling can increase the risk of spreading the virus. Meaning stay away from already economically deprived and desperate small businesses downtown as they are preparing for violence and looting. They are boarding up their stores. The BIAs DT and the media have access to the same information. Unfortunately the MSM is hiding it.

U.S. Embassy in Ottawa dimming lights for nine nights in honour of George FloydThe U.S. Embassy in Ottawa is dimming its lights in response to the widespread protest movement in the U.S. decrying police violence against Black people. If I can get to Ottawa can I gain refuse in their embassy claiming political asylum? Or maybe we can get 1,000's of people to do this at the same time and create a mass exodus from Canada, or at least make it look good and it would make the turd look bad. Will Trudeau be wearing his blackface?
