montreal's olympic stadium is still in debt - it's been nicknamed "the big owe." (people call it "the big o.") shitty former mayor jean drapeau famously said that it could carry a debt no more than a man can carry a baby.

These are a serious problem here in the US. It is one of the most prominent examples of government subsidising private industry with absolutely no ROI. Yet they keep doing it. It's basically high school jock sniffing taken to stratospheric levels.
