I still want to know what Halifax is going to do with all the money that they are not using for the games.
Where is it hiding? LOL
If I got my hands on it Halifax would have a 30 thousands seat stadium build tomorrow.
Knowing politicians, its lining certain back pockets that aren’t yours.
They spent 9 million dollars on professional fees and travel ! No detailed accounting has been presented. The mayor of our city is a retard (sorry for the political incorecness but it is what it is).
A handful of 'old' families in this city control absolutely everything. Our young people are leaving in droves!
Halifax's tax base has exploded yet the city has done absolutely 0 to improve infrastructues and quality of life since I've been here in 1997.
The only thing that matters in this city according to our "bought off" mayor is in his own words paying down the debt. For which we have seen absolutely no data since he has been in office in 1999 or so.
THERE IS NO WAY A STADIUM WILL BE BUILT IN THIS CITY OR A PARK FOR KIDS, bike path or outdoor rink...or anything else you can think of that we do not have and every other descent city has.
And don't count on locals raising barricades. The only thing people want to do down here is drink beer eat chicken wings and get fat. Listen to keltic music and think they are special.
I travel quite a bit in Canada and the level of obesity here is becoming alarming. I like the laid back lifestyle and the 12 minute commute to work but I wish people down here would strive for more for themselves and their kids
Wow, $9 million for "fees" and travel expenses? That money would have better served the community by paying for some upgrades to Huskies Stadium. Then, at least, the college team could play in an updated facility.
