The film industry scam is a race to the bottom but aren't we already subsidizing the Whitecaps through their use of BC Place (even if it doesn't give them all the advantages of having their own stadium)?

When the province has just had to cancel the second phase of Burnaby General Hospital and when the City of Vancouver has to pull lifeguards from public beaches I sure as hell don't want my tax dollars going to millionaire/billionaire soccer team owners.
