Olympic Village Boondoggle: Are The Good Folks At The VSun Serious?

Or are they just joking?

Why do I ask?

Well, because in their Editorial today, the good folks at the Sun made the following statement regarding the billion dollar boondoggle:

"As far as we know, the developer is still solvent and contractually obliged to deliver the project on its own....."


Sure thing Vancouver Sun Editor-Thingys.

But.....

If that's the case, why are they kinda/sorta suspending projects left, right and center*?

The 'developer' I mean.

And even more to the point, with all that apparent solvency flying around, why did the developer need $100 million of our money just to keep operating for the last three months?

Sheesh.

*Here's an example of the developer's kinda/sorta 'Nanaimo Problem'.
On the plus side,
at least the VSun didn't say that the developer is in an 'enviable position'.
