Greenest Games? Or Freeway Olympics?
The 2010 Winter Olympics have been branded the ‘Greenest Games’. But the Games are linked to a massive Freeway Expansion scheme which is already boosting consumption of tar sands oil and funnelling dirty money into the pockets of the Olympic sponsors above. Join GatewaySucks.org at the Take Back Our City Festival. Endorsed by GatewaySucks.org and the Council of Canadians. |
