All the sexy infrastructure wasn't actually part of the Vancouver Bid... But once they were awarded the Provisional and local governments decided either to move up projects or create new ones (The Canada Line, Sea to Sky highway and the Convention Centre).

So if the sexy infrastructure stuff is kept out until later, how will we know anything about the cost and tax implications? That is nuts. Either this is really a bare bones bid and that seems to be what the Yes side is selling, or they need to roll the whole thing out with some reasonable cost estimates. This seems very amateurish and unorganized.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
