Not shelling out tax dollars was never an option at the provincial or federal level. The province wasn't proposing a new tax to pay for this, they were just re-allocating their capital funding cut from property taxes to the MSI to the Olympic bid rather than paying off their own deficit.
The feds allocation is slated to be spent on a major international event. It's allocated money from the current tax rates, not a promise to raise new money contingent on a bid.
