How about the people being thrown out of their homes to house visitors to the Olympics or the so called "clean up" of the Downtown Eastside? How about health care cuts, cuts to other programs across the Province? And damage to businesses during the traffic rerouting? Sorry I don't buy it.



No Olympics in Chicago is a REALITY!
Posted October 2, 2009 by nicolas_lampert in In the News

Hell Yes! Chicago lost its bid to host the Olympics. An estimated 84 percent of the city opposed bringing the Games to Chicago but this did not stop the Daley-machine, Obama, and Oprah from trying to sway the Olympic committee to their favor. The result was a first round elimination! Now that is funny.

The bad news is that Rio de Janeiro will be saddled with the games in 2016 and Vancouver is feeling the ill-effects of the upcoming winter games in 2010.
