I definitely do agree that the Liberals haven't presented the full costs of the Games in the past, but I can forgive them for that considering the absolutely asinine faux figures anti-2010 activists have fed to the media. The Liberals left out $600-million in costs, while the leftards added in billions that were not Olympic expenditures.
BTW, where's the logic of including this as an Olympic cost: the sponsorship revenue ICBC created with its exclusive Olympic license plate program?
