| It's an investment vehicle. Sometimes funds have partial ownership, sometimes they have 100% ownership. This is completely normal. In this case, the pension fund probably made nice with this turn-around story. Canadian pension funds like Ontario Teachers are some of the world best managed funds. They are run incredibly well.

They failed, yet still made a lot of money through ticket sales, tv deals, and merchandise. Wasn't as bad as the Ballard years but they squeezed every dollar out of the franchise they could.

Even the Keystone pipeline is backed by pensions. When shit hits the fan, oil spill, bankruptcy, false flag terrorism, ect... they'll say sorry no pension for you, but you can stay and eat at our sub-par food feeding factories to stay alive.

Members average what 30-40 years of age? Another 30-40 years left... why on earth would anyone keep working to pay for shelter when life is so short. Its best to live in a van and expand ones horizons.

They are in it for the revenue, not for prestige or to make hockey history.

I guess financially it makes a lot of sense
I just assumed entities like these would be more inclined to support local efforts (ie. police department buy fleets of domestic vehicles vs hyundais)

its pretty wild the things that pension funds are invested in.
for example, the BC public workers pension fund is invested in the same company they are trying to prevent developing in BC. 2 of them actually, 1 successfully
