I'll give him a semi pass and guess that he meant to say "Montreal", the host of the 1976 Olympics.
Now, of course, if he really meant "Vancouver", then he gets demoted from "sloppy and unprepared" to flat out "what kind of loons actually listen to this guy?"
I sometimes wonder if counter-protesters make signs like that and go out there just for a photo op
With frequent overruns, few cities end up recouping any profits after the athletes have gone home. Even cities that cite surpluses, such as 1984 host Los Angeles and 1998 host Calgary, often don't include total expenditures in security and indirect costs in the final tally. And other cities find themselves far in the red. Montreal, host of the 1976 Summer Games, only finished paying off its Olympic debt in 2006. Officials in Nagano, Japan, spent so much on the 1998 Winter Games that they destroyed their financial records.
