Canadians have mixed feelings about hosting future international sporting events, with many seeing value in such events, and others viewing world competitions like the Olympics to be “corrupt” and “too expensive,” says a Heritage Department internal report.
“There is no clear consensus among respondents who believe large scale international sporting events will be fairly or very valuable to Canadians in the future,” said the report, titled “Future of Sport Public Opinion Research,” first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
