Unless someone wants to step up and maybe risk their job to try and get funding. But much as we'd like to altruistically believe politicians actually care about the public good, they are in a career and like anyone else are career driven. Doing the unpopular thing, even if it's right, doesn't prolong one's career. And I'm sorry but ultimately the legacy infrastructure from this is extremely underwhelming unless you're a winter athlete, or have direct financial ties to any prospective projects

I wish the plebiscite could be switched to the following question:

$2.875 billion in funding from three levels of government have been procured: Would you prefer to host the Olympics, or spend that on (fill in the blank)?
