The $2B cost of hosting the games was likely a realistic estimate. I gather this is roughly what Glasgow is spending on the games.

Could Halifax and NS have afforded this given the fiscal realiities existing in our region? Perhaps not.

I think the only way this would have flown is with a realistic initial budget estimate and if the feds had ponied up at least half the cost ($1B).
