So it looks like the proponents of hosting the Olympics are trying to bury reports that are skeptical of the economic benefits. It's hard to give much credibility to this 'exploratory bid' process when it's clear the deck is stacked from the outset in favour of hosting.

Councillor Druh Farrell, a staunch Olympic critic, said that amounts to burying the reports, which she does not recall ever hearing about.

"The information council was given emphasized the benefits and glossed over the risks. It's difficult to ask to see a report if we don't know it exists," Ms. Farrell said. "I have rarely seen a presentation more predisposed to an outcome."
