This is a childish argument. Downgrading a comment because they don’t see it your way. Very childish. Childish would be Quebec saying if they don’t get what they want, they’re leaving. Check your definitions.
Weather the federal, provincial or municipal government pays for it it’s all out of our pockets.
The city of Calgary has a long list of infrastructure and service projects coming up. Example lrt and a field house. We can either pay for these projects with our municipal money, or we can use the 2.5 billion we receive from the IOC and games revenues.
Why would calgarians want to shoulder 100% of the tax burden when we can partially fund it through Olympic revenues.
