It's ironic to me how anyone who's complaining about paying taxes that ultimately don't come back to the city and province, limiting our ability to fund new projects and limit our debt, would back an olympics that will effectively increase their taxes for decades to come and further limit our ability to take on new debt and fund future projects.
Not to mention, it does absolutely nothing to rebalance the transfer payment distribution formula that is the real problem. Even though we will be running deficits and incurring more and more debt as a city and province, we'll still be a net contributor of transfer payments for the foreseeable future.
