CBSA - Questions?

[Jason Robichaud]

The only point that I was trying to make right from the start was C.B.S.A does an absolute terrible job at organizing and promoting pool in Canada there are too many flaws to list. Everybody except for a few on this thread are aware that Canada has a poor association when it comes to maintaining and growing the sport.
Jason as soon as I knocked the C.B.S.A immediately you switched the topic of discussion and went on with your B.S, I know why it's only because you know that I'm right about the C.B.S.A and there's nothing you can do to defend them it's no secret that they're pitiful.
Just remember you started with throwing the personal insults so check yourself, I didn't ask you to agree with my opinion. I could be wrong about the whole idea but just respect my opinion and I'll do the same and we'll get along good.
Supergreenman I never involved you in my posts one time(I dont know who you are) so just listen to what D_lewis said and take a breath my post was directed towards Jason not you. I wish you the best in the future because your obviously completely out to lunch and yes that was directed towards you Supergreenman.

I think you should read the post again, I questioned your opinion of Maritimers and the mundane jobs we have. I stated the benefits of living here and asked 'what is so great about pool'!

You can have your opinions on the CBSA and I'm sure most would agree. We have many issues in Canada affecting the abilities to support a pool tour/events. VALUE is the biggest. What value can we offer sponsors? We don't have world champions, we don't allow world champions to play, it isn't televised, no great venues, small fields, country that is too big (logistically for players to support a tour) and no one that would organize for free. I believe the only roll of the CBSA's is to allocate spots to the worlds and help with expenses. It is going to take another organization to create a pro tour for you.

What you are posting here is... what came first, the chicken or the egg! This at a time when a KFC is down the road waiting for the chicken and the workers are eating scrabbled eggs until they arrive.

I can sympathize with you though. It must be extremely frustrating to be one of the best in a country that doesn't offer a good, regular pay for pool. Win a Canadian Championship and no mention on TSN, papers etc. I don't see things changing for you any time soon. until that time, I will continue to lace up work boots, not for the glory, fame and gratification, but for the safety in it.
