not a chance as that would require accountability from the people in question.
Keep up the great work Ian.

What does this have to do with OSEG? Does OSEG have a charity they closed too?
Stop with the deflecting. Melnyk had total control over the foundation and failed, that's it. Sports teams-run charities closing is a very unique thing and he did it.

I’m not sure who posted it earlier (and I notice it was completely gaslighted by the usual suspects), but it was a long laundry list of things the charity (not at arms length from the Sens) has failed to show in its documentation.
So to recap.
1. The organization couldn’t/chose not to fund its own charity organization to get it off the ground. (What a show of strength and commitment!! Lol) They didn’t even believe in their own vision.
2. The organization hasn’t even organized its documentation for the charity enough for anyone looking just below the surface.
sounds like a real winner! Where do I sign up!

Also, an organization that has been a PR disaster for years failing to reach its donation goals is hardly a surprise, but keep blaming the fans.

Everywhere we look an Ottawa sport initiative is under funded by its fans.
It failed because fans didn’t buy tickets. Melynk hired Weir/Phillips. They ran it. Fans didn’t buy.
Was Melynk fault hiring Weir/Phillips ? I wouldn’t think that … by all accounts That seemed like a good idea to me. It appears Melnky make an excellent choice hiring those two. This city loves Phillips .

Obviously Weir/Phillips weren't the yes men Melnyk thought they would be l, so yes, it is his fault.

I don’t know what Weir/Phillips’ roles were, but I do know that Melnyk has more power than either of them did. People might give him the benefit of the doubt if he didn’t scare off every former player working for the Sens.

Feels like your are making that up. I haven’t seen anything to suggest Weir/Phillips weren’t given control to run the foundation.

Melynk is an owner who sits in Barbados’s. He hired competent people to run the foundation. We all like Phillips and Phillips liked Weir. That’s enough for me.

That didn’t happen. Phillips was involved and you didn’t buy any tickets while he was running the foundation. Neither did I. Once it was broke, they paused the foundation to stop bleeding money woth no hope
Of any revenue for months and Phillips decided to leave.

Accountability to watch his podcast? Please
Tv personality is trying to sell zoom and has created controversy in hopes people will sign up and watch his zoom show.
I am sure he is a good guy or husband or father or whatever but you guys with the “journalistic integrity” are just over the top.

I really can’t get over the FACT that an NHL franchise launched an in house charity and couldn’t keep it afloat for 5 months.
I mean I feel sorry for the people who actually donated given they clearly had no belief in their own charity.
5 months. I mean lmfao.
Everything else is just bafflegab.
We’ll all hear from Katy Strang, or someone else the details behind Phillips and Weir so whatever...

I will ask again, what show are you talking about? He wants to have a discussion over zoom, not a podcast, not something people can watch. Quit moving the goalposts.
You have a good idea though maybe Mendes can make it a pay per view show with all proceeds going to the Sens charity. Would you join him then since you are so concerned with the charity?

A total shame we couldn’t properly fund it and it had to close up.
They could have done some neat things if they had 1/4 of the Cal, EDM, Van, MTL, or Toronto revenue.
I heard Calgary bought a bunch of kids Covid tech among other things.

I don’t think he knows what host controls are … and how they are used in a small or large video conference call.

Lacking the courage of your convictions. A short story in two parts.
Billionaires who launch an in-house charity and let it die 5 months later.
Criticizing the character and integrity of others, then fleeing from an opportunity to defend your comments to the the person you attacked.

I’d like to see a study of billionaires who launch a charity and have them fail in 5 months.
I suspect the grand total is 1 in history. I’m open to being proven wrong.

Did Mendes offer anyone an open mic in his show? All I saw was an invite to his Zoom presentation of his explanation of how media worked.
You are accusing people of gas lighting when you have many of these realities misconstrued in your mind.

Gotta say, the idea of an Ian Mendes Zoom call being a trap you can’t get out of is fantastic.
