As well it's a venue for companies and this is why VANOC is very strict regarding advertising, the strictes from all other hosts. With recession and people losing their jobs it would political suicide to fund a two week party when so many other pressing things are on the table.

On the other hand I can't stand the fact that nothing is being done to solve the problem of homeleseness and rampant drug addiction. Also I am disgusted at what happened at the Luge track. I think that Nodar Kumaritashvili's death could have been prevented. I have mixed feelings because on one hand it’s an amazing experience to be in a city where such an event is being held.

Vancouver will have the international spotlight on it and therefore must operate a smooth and exquisite olympics which means not sparing any costs. Harper's statement? BS! If there is no money leftover to fund the games, the federal government will 100% finance whatever else is needed. Whats wrong? Its the olympics.
