As the deadline to purchase the Ottawa Senators approaches, Snoop Dogg is calling on the Canadian NHL team to make the right decision.
In a video shared to the rapper’s Instagram page on Monday, hours before the deadline to buy the hockey club settles in, Snoop gave a shoutout “to the First Nations of Canada,” as Sports Net reports that “First Nations groups in Canada have partnered with the Neko Sparks bid in a significant way.”
In the clip, Snoop, who joined businessman Sparks’ bid earlier this month, says, “We tryna do something. We tryna make a difference,” while repping a Senators jersey.
He even added some rhyming into his digital message, sharing what he and Sparks have to offer.
“I mean it’s official like a referee with a whistle. We all together. We tryna make it better. We just need ya’ll to hit the lever and give us control. Ottawa Senators, whatcha y’all wanna do? We here. Let’s go.”

According to a source involved in the hockey bid, the Sparks group has included “First Nations communities in a way that would make them partners in the hockey club as well as a wide range of economic opportunities off the ice,” Sports Net reports.
“This is giving First Nations Peoples a seat at the table,” the source said.
Details surrounding the potential equity stake the First Nations communities could have are unclear, however it’s believed to be greater than 10 per cent and includes “real estate, technology and entertainment avenues,” the outlet adds.

Naman Ramachandran A first teaser has been unveiled for Canadian filmmaker Pier-Philippe Chevigny’s debut feature “Temporaries” (“Richelieu”), which will bow at the Tribeca Festival followed by the Karlovy Vary Film Festival and Fantasia International Film Festival. The film follows Ariane (Ariane Castellanos), who moves back home to the Richelieu Valley after a breakup and gets a job as an interpreter for seasonal migrant workers in a factory. Witnessing workplace abuses perpetrated by Stephane (Marc-André Grondin), the factory’s aggressive supervisor, Ariane must decide how far she is willing to go to speak out against injustice. Chevigny grew up in the Richelieu Valley in Quebec and observing migrant workers there informed the film. “My first feature aims to question the image of Canada as a perfect, injustice-free country. Launching at Tribeca, Karlovy Vary and Fantasia matters because it gives the weight of international attention to that criticism: it’s harder to ignore the noise when the rest of the world is showing concern,” Chevigny told Variety.
