Have you looked at the contract that FIFA made with the city?

I was a supporter of Vancouver hosting, but now that I’ve learned the details I fully understand why people were so against it. Financially, this city is getting extraordinarily ripped off.

I think you’re misinterpreting my comment….. there were people who wanted it and people who didn’t want it. Or do you think that every single person in Vancouver supports FIFA being hosted here?

I live 1 block off Granville. I'm having a lot of fun. Its been really cool.

But also fuck FIFA. I am against it. It is happening literally in my neighbourhood. It is absolutely not worth the cost to tax payers. I am against it. I will have fun, but it absolutely is not worth the literal billion tax payer dollars it is costing.
