Honestly I really don't believe we needed a plebiscite on this, council was capable of looking at the numbers and making a choice. I think this just shows how difficult it is to quantify the benefits of hosting the Olympics, and this is pretty much council not wanting to be on the hook for the decision.

If it was up to City Council only to decide, I think the Bid would be going ahead already a while ago. Until yesterday, every Council vote for the Olympics was passed by a simple majority. It was the Province that put a stipulation of the plebiscite on this thing.
