The Expos have been doomed ever since 1976, when the Parti Quebecois first took office and the mass exodus of corporate headquarters and anglophones out of Montreal began. Montreal's economy never really recovered and neither did the Expos' fan base.

Montreal still hasn't paid off its debt from the 1976 Olympics (which Mayor-for-Life Jean Drapeau said could no more lose money than a man could have a baby), and Olympic Stadium is a crumbling eyesore which should have been torn down years ago.

Tant pis. Au revoir.

The Expos have been doomed since Seligula became commissioner.
