Now Pierre Karl Péladeau is marching onto the gridiron. The restless president and chief executive officer of Quebecor was unveiled Friday as the new owner of the Montreal Alouettes football team. “I’m here for the long term,” Péladeau said, adding that he was born, raised, educated and continues to live in Montreal. “The dream has always been to get the Nordiques back or at least another Quebec-based hockey team,” said Rotman School of Management professor Richard Powers. “There’s absolutely nothing negative to say about the purchase of the (Alouettes) by (Péladeau),” Mitch Garber, a prominent Montreal entrepreneur who is a minority owner of the Seattle Kraken, wrote on Twitter.
