I have conflicted emotions as a 1 . proud Canadian , 2. as a (former) student, and 3. as a taxpayer and 4. Envronmentalist.
Jacques Villeneuve has lived most of his life in a tax haven /giant ponzi scheme known as Monaco. Presumtively, he is taxed on his residence, and I would imagine contributes zero to Quebec/Canada in income tax. He also comes from an extremely wealthy family. Yet contributing zero to our nation, he feels he has the right to tell others who have worked hard and sweated become working health professionals or other educated people who want to serve Quebec to go F themselves because they had the gall to ask QC to not spend 600 million on a stupid arena with no guarantee of a hockey team, but rather keep tuition stable.
That being said, if Montreal does not get a shitty deal of paying F1 boss Bernie Eccelstone 80,000,000.00 USD $ for the F1 rights, then I am all for formula E, and even Jacques Villeneuve's participation, as it encourages electric vehicles in the Canadian
motor sport culture.
