Gordon Campbell Lies about Olympic Village

Today Gordon Campbell said the Olympic Village isnt over budget, even though Vancouver City Manager Penny Ballem has been crystal clear thats its $125 million in the red. When is he going to stop lying and come clean about the real cost of the Olympics?

@daniel213141 You fail to mention debt owed to the US from other nations like Australia, Germany, etc. where US is the largest foreign debtor to these nations. You also deceptively don’t mention State/Prov. Debt, where the average Canadian province has 10 times the debt of a typical US State. Nor do you mention how Canadian consumers and households have more debt than the US. Infact Canadians are the most indebt consumers out of all developed economies per capita

@daniel213141 ….Interestingly you take one of the highest estimates. This tells me you formed a conclusion first and looked for evidence to support this. You imply Canada has no unfunded liabilities, when actually countries with more and/or comprehensive social programs typically have more, but again not a good measure of debt. You also imply Canada did not bailout the banks; well I got news for you, Canada not only bailed out the banks, we bailed them out more than the US

@daniel213141 .....Calculating unfunded liabilities as debt makes the assumption that every single penny paid out to social services etc. is borrowed when this has never happened before furthermore it also assumes no taxation benefits will not come back - this is only possible if tax rates drop to 0%. Furthermore those unfunded liabilities for the specific year are factored into that year’s specific budget, not this year. Also there are hordes of ways to measure unfunded liabilities…

@daniel213141 You are wrong

Interestingly you took one measure of debt for Canada and applied it against another measure for US debt. Can we say deceiving? Canadians public sov. debt 83.9% US public sov. debt 60%. As for Britian, considering their ext. debt alone is almost 500% of its GDP and they are practically rationing health care already and have far more crime than the US and racism.

As for unfunded liabilities, this is not an accurate measure and very very subjective

@ShayisWY

Wrong......

Your stats are out dated and also inaccurate.

Canada’s debt to hit 53% of GDP, Britain’s 103%, US’ 122%

US 75% of estimated GDP by 2013, assuming both an economic recovery and significant growth from 2010.

US also has unfunded liabilities for health care, pensions and its continued bailouts. As of the beginning of April, once these are added to accepted national debt, the total indebtedness of the US is US$53T (C$63T Canadian), or 122% of GDP

@ShayisWY

Your entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts,

Canada’s debt to hit 53% of GDP, Britain’s 103%, US’ 122%
