Vancouver’s ‘Poverty Olympics’

This is something interesting to see, the 2010 winter games in the Canadian government back in 2006 estimated that the cost of the games to the tax payers would only be C$2.5 billion. In reality the games spent closer to C$6billion and now many citizens are now homeless.  Though in retrospective the amount spent on infrastructure is the least in recent years, China spent $40 billion, the US spent US$4.2 billion, Australia spent US$2 billion and Greece spent US$12 billion.
