Nope. The 2026 Swindle is still alive and kicking. City Council voted to maintain the plebiscite instead of cancelling the whole bid outright (even through the majority of CC voted to cancel the bid, they needed 10 votes to cancel the plebiscite).
So, it’s now in the general populations hands, which is slightly concerning because i assume most people haven’t been following this process closely, and don’t understand how truly shady the financials are.
Of course, BidCo has all of the olympians (and business developers, and tourism people) out selling this Olympics on the basis of “legacy”.
I will be voting no, but for anyone voting, I hope you do your research and vote accordingly, yes or no.
