1. "Canada Pavilion" - built by the USA - WHY are we whoring ourselves out again?

must be because we don't need the jobs, eh?

From the posted Article:

"Workers for an American construction company that won the $9.29-million construction contract were putting the finishing touches to the facility."

Joyce Murray, the Liberal Opposition Critic for the Olympics and Amateur Sport, questioned whether Canada Pavilion in Vancouver is worth the money.

"I think this project has been botched up from the beginning, and is still being botched," she said.

She said the government has never satisfactorily answered why it gave the construction contract to Chicago-based Exhibitgroup/Giltspur, which won the deal on a two-week tender in November.

It looks like an outdated airplane hanger, imo. 10.4 million for that!?!

What a friggin' disaster.
