Thumbs Down for Manitoba Olympic Pavilion

Author: Colin Craig 2010/02/26

Visitors are giving low marks to the Manitoba Pavilion at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Attendance is low, yet organizers insist the venue is exceeding expectations. Colin Craig of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says someone has to be held accountable for this disaster.

"Amazing! There's a beach in Manitoba," said one person of the computer display. Others say there's little hope of attracting tourists through the pavilion.
