When you invite someone over to your house, and happen to have a financial setback in between the invitation and the arrival, one might cancel the dinner until things become a little more stable.
In the case of the 2010 Winter Olympics, Vancouver doesn’t have that option.
So, in light of the fact that Vancouver has joined with other municipalities to attract business interest in the region during the Olympics, aside from the fact that the City will be hosting many official delegations – whether political, diplomatic, sports-related or corporate – this criticism makes absolutely no sense to me.
