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.

As we all know, the real value in hosting the Olympics is infrastructure. Considering they are already moving the athletes village around to....somewhere....and have already cut housing, this pathetically weak infrastructure games is even weaker. Also today it was confirmed there's no back door to getting a Flames arena, so even that hope is gone. We're paying to upkeep Winsport essentially. That is abysmal financial value.
