I don't think that is desperate. Its looking for a way for the city and province to contribute less than half because the games don't make sense if they contribute half.
This is a person who recognizes that their is a certain value of hosting the Olympics to the city and is unwilling to spend more to make it happen. Regardless of what the financial plan was it would always make sense for the city to push for the feds to contribute more and the Province and City less.
