Canada has an estimated $123 billion infrastructure deficit, so it's not as though there aren't hundreds of important projects in need of funding. People need to given a clear choice of what they will be giving up in order pay for the Olympics - less spending on roads, public transit, ports, bridges, airports, etc.

I have it on good authority that nobody cares about fiscal deficits.
If the Federal and Provincial Governments want to spend money frivolously anyways I'd prefer they spend it frivolously here.
