By The Canadian Press on May 16, 2023.
OTTAWA – Snoop Dogg shouted out Canada’s First Nations in his ongoing social media campaign to promote his bid to buy the NHL’s Ottawa Senators. The rapper is part of a bid spearheaded by Los Angeles-based businessman Neko Sparks. Snoop Dogg posted a video to Instagram yesterday in a recording studio and wearing an Ottawa Senators jersey. He said in the video that he and Sparks were “trying to do something, trying to make a difference” with the bid. Sportsnet reports that the Sparks-led bid would include an equity stake for local First Nations communities. Postmedia says that four groups submitted bids and one of those was at the US$1 billion mark. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 16, 2023. 8-7
