My vote is in, much to the chagrin of the city I'm sure. I thought something about this plebiscite/referendum seemed a little fishy though....

Don't think Americans have a lock on election "errors"...They moved our voting centers...One would think common sense says hold all elections in the same place....nope...they moved the voting sites and it was a lot harder to finally get my ballot in.

Funny how the government can manipulate a vote just by the slightest "inconvenience"...

Anyway, I voted no because i don't believe the olympics represent anything anymore. I'd like to believe it once was about building community spirit but the thought of million dollar NHL players skating around with gold medals strapped around their necks is not exactly something I can aspire too, so why the fuck should I rally to support them?

Besides, anyone who has a shred of common business sense will see that the budget/accounting for these games is about as watertight as an Enron sponge. Theyve conveniently left out he Vancouver Convention Center in any of the bid materials when its $450 million in renovations is cleary tied to the bid....
