Who the hell is "we" bitch ??? You love polls when they suit YOUR needs.
Most people are quite happy to take these games on, why don't you mention
this? Oh.. sorry ... I forgot... it's because you're a BITCH !!!

But, that's nothing; Adriane Carr (certified "anti-normalcy" loon) and
Chris Shaw (who actually wrote a letter to the IOC claiming to speak
for all of BC in opposing the games) are claiming now they will in
effect audit the games and will make sure "we have the very best games
possible" (quoted in the Province July 3, P14).
Maybe these two are planning to steal political credit for a
successful games, despite their ongoing pigheaded opposition to those
very games. They are voices to be ignored.

games. Important services are being cut all across the country. Medicare is
in its death throes. And they can find several million dollars to do a 20
minute propaganda spiel on an effort to attract the games. The tickets will
be sold through brokers and the local people will not be able to afford to
go the games anyway.
The Canadian way!

Boy are you a fuckwit. That's the way tickets for all Olympic games are
distributed. I'm sure the local people will do fine by renting their
homes and subletting their apartments to foreigner's at inflated rates for
the 2 weeks, plus do well in the service and construction industry.
Please come back when you have a coherent argument, you welfare case.

Actually what you describe is not the Canadian way. The Canadian way is
to recognize the value of the olympics from a cultural perspective and
to participate. It is also to recognize the return that is likely on
any investment made. The financial investment alone can produce a
tenfold return. Imagine what that can do for 'important services' and
medicare.

As far as I know the only one that made any net gains was in Calgary, even there
new infrastructure isn't any good if you don't maintain funding to maintain it.

What were the gains as a percentage of investments?

them, one of two, and the only winter games. So winter games are 1-for-1 so
far.
You have to spend money to make money. B.C.'s economy sucked (worst
unemployment rate in the COUNTRY - yes, that includes all of atlantic
canada) leading up to Expo '86. And that same economy started getting it
into gear until at least the mid-90's.
The increased tourism, likelyhood of international sporting events (like
the bobsleigh) on constructed facilities, etc, should easily break even and
probably go beyond, but it will take a few years. Calgary, and Alberta on
the whole, aren't exactly hurting nowadays after having hosted the '88
games.

I'm not talking about just Canadian held Olympics, but all of them ;~)). Every
winter Olympics in the last 50 years has either run into the red, or been
subsidized or bailed out by taxpayers. Infrastructure improvements are always a
good thing, but only if you maintain funding to keep it all up to date and
running, something that has proved difficult to do in most cases.
The last boom in BC was fueled by the feared take over of Hong Kong, the bust
set in after it seemed little was going to change after China took over.
