should this have been green text? how is spending 5.3B plus cost overruns going to benefit poor people in and around Calgary?
the vast majority of the money is going to things only well off people can afford.
there are a heck of a lot of better ways you can help poor people with 5-8 billion dollars than spending it on an Olympics.
