I don't think the Yes side really understands that the province of BC covering any and all cost over runs for the Vancouver Olympics is very different than the government of Alberta definitely saying they will not cover anything more than the 700 million they agreed to spend. That's a hard no right of the bat. I'm not sure I'd love sending Calgary taxes to Whistler.

Also, the one thing we really need for 370 million is flood mitigation. We're going to look pretty stupid bailing out our fancy new library next spring.
