Obviously I have no idea what you mean or I would not be asking. You made the statement, so clarify it.

Well then JR, I suggest taking remedial reading courses, or get someone to help you to understand. The statement was simple & straightforward.

But of course, as with all things, he is wrong.......that's why they are "wrongies", and not "righties".

here is your olympic legacy:
http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0...-23218,00.html

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl...ational/Canada

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/20...nt_3332570.htm

http://www.finance24.com/articles/de...2-1655_1567893

http://www2.chinadaily.com.cn/englis...ent_335236.htm

One need merely substitute BC for "Greece" and then try to explain to your grand-kids why they will be paying for this 10 political showcase for the next 20 years or more.

Lest yee forget:http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-41-1316...ic_games/clip1

BTW, they THINK they MAY finally pay off the 'self-financing' Olympics this year...nelrly 30 years later.

What WILL you say to those grand-kids?

I read in the paper yesterday that Montreal is thinking about bidding for the 2016 Olympics. They must have done something good, if they want them again.

Just goes to show you
how short the human memory can be.

However, I suspect that was just a story floated for reaction by the politicans. Should string them up.
