Poll: Most expect Winter Olympics to go over budget
VANCOUVER — Most Canadians believe the Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Games will finish in the red, according to a new Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll.
In a survey conducted last month, 84 per cent of those polled indicated the Games, which begin Friday, will go over budget.
The highest percentage was in British Columbia, where 90 per cent of respondents felt the Games will cost more than expected.
Just three per cent felt the Games would come in under budget and six per cent said they would break even.
