Nothing Changes

Great article the other day in the Vancouver Sun about how Canada's politicians are queue jumping and using tax payers money to secure tickets to Olympic events. http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Politicians+score+seats+events+before+public/2480201/story.html

While extremely disturbing to not only the tax paying public the aforementioned article goes to show how all levels of government are using amateur sport. In 2002 federal ministers spent over $397,000 at the 2002 Winter Olympics, which exceeded the budget of many of Canada's National Sport Orgranizations. The article shows that nothing has changed regardless of which political party is in office.

Wouldn't it be nice if all levels of government invested public monies on our amateur athletes, rather than try to fatten their egos. This blogger thinks so.
