I just don't get where they believe that people will believe that line.
I mean just looking at winter Olympic history.
In 1988 Calgary spent 899,000,000 made a profit of 32 million, but you can't tell me that Calgary saw 9 billion in 1988 dollars back. I'd like to see them prove it.
In Vancouver they spent 1.7 billion, made a 2 million dollar profit, but can they prove that Vancouver bought in 17 billion.
I think if you're going to say stuff like this you have to be able to prove it.
I mean the whole Olympic process so far feels like a Sales pitch by Herb Tarlek.
