Commonwealth games
3/9/2007 at 3:49 PM
Halifax has pulled out of hosting the Commonwealth games because it is $600,000 short of funding, the Feds I believe have offered $400,000, but no more. My question is: Have international events became to expensive for a small country like Canada? Do we have to accept the fact that we cannot host future world events of this nature? Will this harm our World representation of being "Mr. nice guy"? Will our athletes have more money to help them train if we do not have any Hosting costs?
