4.3098 The Canadian Team Demands For An NHL Subsidy.
In January of 2000, the government, which had seriously entertained the requests, reversed their stance and rejected the team pleas. The government reversal may well have been due to the unfavorable press it was receiving in the mass media, more than a genuine belief the opposition was right.
