Quebec to spend $870M on a new roof for the Olympic Stadium

15 comments

How the fuck does any roof cost $870M? Did they resurrect Michelangelo to paint it?
- The skydome cost $570 million back in the 80s
- In 2018, the body that runs the Olympic Park estimated the total amount spent on the venue at $1.7-billion, or $5.2-billion in inflation-adjusted 2017 dollars.

  With 5.2B cost, 800M for the roof makes sense.
C'est drôle que ça coincide avec le fait que son cousin et meilleur ami a été nommé sur le conseil d'administration du parc olympique, malgré les recommandations.

Osti de parti de nepotism de marde.
- Tellement d'accord, sus asf. Il prend des cartes du Playbook de Doug Ford.
Oof that's a big price tag, but I'm glad to see it provided it's done right.

Is this all paid for by the provincial or is the city paying a chunk of this?
- It's probably both but unclear how much each party will pay.
