With that being said I'm pretty sure Toronto is still receiving funds for other capital projects. It's not as if the tap is turned off until the 500 million they received for the pan am games is evenly distributed to other cities first

That's the point though.
That $500 million could have gone to those other cities instead of paying for the Pan Am Games.
So instead of Calgary, or some other city getting $500 Million for a new overpass, or say a new LRT line, Toronto threw a 2 week party and gave out some medals.
Doesn't exactly sound like a great use of funds to me.
