Health care is not being looked after. Fuel taxes continue to soar. We are currently one billion dollars overbudget for the Olympics (and growing). We are entertaining the Olympic Committee right now at a four star downtown hotel for the next year where they will be wined and dined as part of having the Olympics in Vancouver. We pay for this. Plus, the Olympic Village is still not completed and it’s uncertain as to who will pay the costs to finish it (who do you think will end up paying for it)?

One local politician representing the provincial Liberal government said: “any province or country would be so happy to have the Olympics at this time, especially when we are in a recession!” That is the biggest load of bunk you can possible say. He must think we’re all a bunch of morons, or maybe he’s just that stupid himself (could be the latter).

Other provinces like Alberta and Quebec have had the Olympics and we know that it takes decades to pay them off. Weighing it out as a cost benefit, there is no tangible gain for having the Olympics. It’s like spending $700.00 dollars at the bar one night and screwing some tramp. You realize that five hours of fun has cost you big time! Investors know, already, what Vancouver has to offer (this is not 1986). This has been a ploy for big business to rip off the citizens of Vancouver. What will now happen to proposed HWY#1 improvements? Nothing. We will be broke.
