It is a weird condition that forces the City to spend more given Provincial amount.
Really, the fact that governments were making distinct announcements on their own with various conditions shows that the negotiation was not coordinated. One would have expected an agreement and all three levels coming out together to announce. |
It mostly shows the Feds and NDP want to avoid being blamed for this not happening. The Feds commit their money in such a way that basically means the NDP has to step up. The NDP commit their money, but less than the city wanted, and with conditions that make attaining the money somewhat difficult. And now the city has to destroy its short and long term budgets to host, or cut costs of an already pathetically weak bid. I said this a few pages ago, but I do hope even the staunchest Yes support can concede this whole process has been disgraceful.
