Blame It on Olympic Fever By Chris Shaw, The Tyee
Could B.C. say no thanks to the Olympics? Denver did after being awarded them in 1970. Two years later, the city voted against hosting the winter Games. Concerns then (as now) focused on cost overruns and the environment. The IOC turned to Innsbruck to host only 12 years after its last Olympics.
Let’s give the 2010 Winter Games back to the IOC. They will find other takers and we will be off the hook for a far more disastrous financial misstep, perhaps the worst in British Columbia’s history.
