My point of course is they will be getting voted out and won't be around to make the debt $100 billion. Election is in 2019, same year the bid is due. And this poll was taken before the NDP budget came out, I suspect that 62% would be at least 10% lower after people saw the budget.

Why do you feel that you know how the rest of us think? Almost everyone I know would absolutely love the Olympics to come back. It was one of the greatest things to ever happen to this city. And yes...I would be fine having my taxes in one form or another go up in order to improve our city and sports infrastructure. Our city is embarrassingly behind in those categories.
