The federal government has not yet committed any money to an Olympic bid.

“Canada hosting a portion of the World Cup in the same year as the Winter Games may have an impact on both the level of government support available from Sport Canada and the ability to attract and compete for sponsorship, media and ticketing revenue.”

If people think the Olympics are bad for us, just wait to see if FIFA gets their grubby hands on us, then we are really screwed.
