Incredible, a province that has squandered its wealth with riduculous development ad nauseum, and now with its prime source of income slipping due to pressures coming from all sides of the world, still wants to host an event that has proven over time to be a complete waste.    FYI....2010 the Swiss were the leaders in hosting the event even over Vancouver....the Swiss said NO.  Any they are a very wealty country with no tar sands.
Say no to those corrupt buggers at the IOC.  As much I love the winter Olympics it just isnt worth it.
