Default 2026 FIFA World Cup 15 host cities
Games from June - July 19, 2026.

Costing B.C. $260 million paid by hotel tax till 2030.

Ontario $300 million and want $100 million federal money. Ontario and TORONTO PAYING THE REST…. However Toronto is massively in debt and getting a bailout from the province and pressuring the feds to pay more.

Crazy. Massive debts and now major sports costs. Crazy. Not even a long term sports team. This is to pay the costs to host 5 games in each city. Nuts

True, but with how fiscally irresponsible our elected officials are nowadays, can you honestly say you're surprised?

Considering some of their decisions, this could be considered a good one.
