It’s not a new idea. In 1974, World Team tennis actually had the Buffalo-Toronto Royals. Half the games were played at the old Aud and the other half north of the border.

He was speaking directly to the issue with the boats in the Niagara River. The more water that is diverted above the falls at the intakes doesn't get put back in the river until Lewiston.
I have worked in tourism in Niagara Falls for the past 25 years. The water levels in the lower Niagara are higher than they've ever been. This past Friday the Hornblower and Maid of the Mist boats lost a full day of business for the first time in history because the water level submerged the docks that passengers use to access the boats. It was the 5th day this season they had a shutdown ( the other four were just partial day losses.)
It's a huge problem and is not going to get better anytime soon. I was told by one engineer that they are hoping for sustained hot weather with increased air-conditioner useage so that the increase demand for hydro will call for more water to be sent through the upper-river water intakes to the power plants.
Stands to lose $3 million in salary if he doesn't start hitting the celery.

Wife and I saw it last weekend, pretty much in lock-step with your review. There were a couple of families in the theater that brought their 80-year-old grandmas along. Can't imagine what the grannies thought about the graphic gay sex scene.
