If you read any of Toronto's papers, that partisan clueless bullshit rag the Star in particular, you know Toronto is in the process of mounting a bid for the 2015 Pan-Am Games. I don't know what the hell those are, other than what I've read in afore-mentioned populist rag. I do know that it'll be stupidly expensive, like $1,770,000,000 expensive, presumably because of all of the facilities you have to build. The idea of these games is to showcase Toronto's superiority as a city or something...
• The capital investment made to stage the 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games represents a legacy investment of close to $1 billion – the largest ever contribution to Ontario’s sport and recreation infrastructure
• Brand new facilities will be developed to host competitions; a combination of existing and renovated facilities will be used for a variety of events, all facilities for the games will meet or exceed international and Olympic standards
• All venues will use green technology, be fully accessible be available to spectators, high performance athletes, community groups and members of the public during and after the Games
So. $1 billion dollars worth of flashy shiny new facilities being built, fully acessible to the public. Can you see where I'm going with this? Build it and we will come.
In other news...expect some original content from our corner in a week or two.
And on the topic of dicking around....keep clicking that CORE link over there, eventually it'll take you to an actual website.
