Can you quote where he said that? Because the above quote doesn't say anything remotely similar.
You're going to have to extrapolate here. Nenshi said that the party who wants the plebiscite should be the party to pay for the plebiscite..,the province. Ergo the party that does not want the plebiscite is the City of Calgary.

By this logic, you'd never proceed with anything. You never have adequate information to start off with. That's what's currently being developed.
Here's the issue. We've already studied this bid...for two years and ten million dollars. We have the answers we need to proceed with a 50 million dollar bid. Except we don't. And now we don't have enough time to get that information together.

Most of the people who are pro-olympics are tentatively so in here, and are saying wait and see how the proposed numbers end up looking. So this doesn't reflect reality as far as I can tell.
Wonderful. That makes perfect sense. Agree 100%. But that's not what you're getting. What you're getting is sorry, there is no time and no information for you. So away we go.

A plebiscite doesn't guarantee that you actually get an accurate sense of whether Calgary is for or against a bid.
It seemed pretty accurate in Vancouver. A plebiscite was a pretty easy under taking in Vancouver in 2010. Don't you even for a second wonder why it's so incredibly hard for Calgary to figure it out?
