CBC: The Ex takes money problems to city
Seems like this train wreck keeps looking for a place to happen. The Central Canada Exhibition, or Super Ex, aquired land on Albion Road back in 2002 but still somehow managed to not get kicked out of Landsdown Park until next year. Now they admit they can't pay $200K from last year, and some articles report that unless the city forgives $600K in debt Super Ex might not run at all in 2011.
Oh, they also have no plan. Even though this year is moving year.
Why is it that these "popular" businesses always seem to need government help?
Sure, maybe the CCE was a viable business back in the '70s and '80s... but it obviously isn't one today.
Shut 'em down.
