Either BidCo is incompetent or they are blatantly lying, and I cannot support the bid with them at the helm. The risk of them having a poor budget or being negligent with the project is too great in my eyes.

Yeah, they lost me when they tried to claim a 10X return on investment. Sure the City is investing 500M and the Province/Feds/IOC are investing more. But the Province and Feds is made up of tax payers here, the rest of the province, and the rest of Canada. It's not free money for us, it's money from our fellow citizens. We get mad here all the time when the governments use our money to bail out/invest in Bombardier, the auto industry, etc...if I were the rest of Canada, seeing this plan and how BidCo is spinning it, I'd be pretty pissed.
