Apparently summer games overran their budgets by 213 percent so they ended up spending more than 3 times what their bid claimed.
Winter games overran budgets by 142 percent so about 2.5 times what their bid claimed.
Lol at the thought that we would magically be getting "somebody else's" free
money to build and upgrade infrastructure. ####ing crazy, I mean hopes and dreams for financial planning. Especially when the Federal government had already
explicitly told Calgary that it would not be responsible for any overruns.
Eating literal billions of dollars in obvious overruns = magical free money to some people
