The NHL Crisis: Hockey Patriotism Not Quite Strong Enough to Produce Majority for Tax Support
Chamber Weekly CEO/Business Leader Poll by COMPAS in the Financial Post |
|||||
|
Corporate leaders do want more than two Canadian teams in the once entirely Canadian NHL, but their hockey patriotism falls just short of being strong enough to deliver a majority in favour of tax support for the sport. Only half of the respondents in the weekly web-survey say that government should “move part way towards reducing some of the tax disadvantage of Canadian teams competing with American teams.” These findings come during a week of much reported business woes in the NHL, particularly for the Ottawa team.
These are the key findings from the web-survey of CEOs and other business leaders conducted by COMPAS on behalf of the National Post under sponsorship of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. |
