This is what pisses me off and cements my beleif that NO was the RIGHT outcome.
Nenshi is supposed to be our advocate but instead he was “selling” to us. Just days before the vote he was telling Calgarians what a GREAT deal this was.
He should have been telling us the truth. The truth that PROV & FED support wasn’t adequate and that if we wanted the Olympics we needed to able to handle the heavy lifting and RISK on our own.
The YES politicians and messengers were selling us snake oil because the Olympics were important to their ego, career and legacy.
Us plebes we’re going to pay for their party.

Did you read the article? It doesn't discuss anything you are complaining about
Nenshi's complaint isn't that the federal and provincial government didn't give them enough money or guarantee is was that the timing of their announcements was late and that they didn't argue for the benefits of the bid. Optically the feds and province screwed the city and that is Nenshi's complaint not that the money wasn't there are the deal was insufficient.
