Name: H. J. Larsen on Dec 11, 2002State:Country: CAComments: Surveys about the proposed Olympics show 62 percent support amongst Vancouver and Whistler residents and 80 percent support amongst Canadians. Since modern day Olympics is all about money in the form of increased spending for facilities and infrastructure, increased business catering to the Olympics, increased business serving the Olympic patrons and increased longer term tourism flowing from the exposure provided, why would Canadians, who would have to help to pay for the games but would benefit to a much lesser extent than the 'locals' support them to a significantly greater extent than those same 'locals' In theVancouver Sun newspaper's Editorial Page piece, they state that it is inappropriate to have a referendum because not enough is yet known about the specifics of the Vancouver/Whistler proposal while, later on in the same piece, they write that a referendum is unnecessary because numerous surveys have already been done demonstrating support. If there isn't enough public information to hold a referendum, exactly on what were those people surveyed basing their support The Olympic Games have become a closely controlled, corrupt, undemocratic organization out to maximize their "franchise" fees producing a 'spectacle' which includes collusion amongst judges and multi-millionaire professional athletes taking the rightful place of amateurs.Flag

Name: Dave Wall on Feb 8, 2003State:Country: UKComments: Emigrating to Vancouver in May. Believe that this would give Vancouver the opportunity to really shine. It will be good for the area financially, but will also give Canadians the opportunity to show what they can do in sport, and maybe focus the governments mind on how it treats sport in Canada.Flag

Name: John Eddy on Feb 12, 2003State:Country: CAComments: We need something to stimulate our economy and this Olympic bid is perfect. We won't be able to do it by sitting back and talking about how bad our financial situation is. Not only will this Olympic Bid bring Canadians together, but it makes long term financial sense.Flag

Name: Trevor Westelund on Feb 12, 2003State:Country:Comments: It is disgusting how our government thinks that it can STEAL money from the pockets of its people just to finesse their own private interests. Anyone who supports our already excessively expensive bid- is anti-democracy! I think that someone in the media should release the actual numbers spent on this ridiculous idea. I am not anti-Olympics; I am against a government who believes that they are responsible to no one.Flag
