Ontario Premier Doug Ford has finally found a taxpayer boondoggle he isn\u0027t quite ready to buy into.

The first essential point to recognize is that Toronto would only host five of a total of 80 World Cup games to be played in North America in 2026. That means there’s just a $17-million difference between the supposed economic benefits Toronto would see and all of the costs of hosting the games, including major renovations to BMO field.
Is it really fair to ask hardworking taxpayers to foot the bill just so one sector of the economy can enjoy some positive by-products of hosting the games?Then there’s the fact that Tory is asking other levels of government to foot part of the bill. That means taxpayers living in areas in which their local economies will receive zero economic benefit from hosting the games will be stuck with part of the final tab. Tory is asking the feds and the province to pay $90 million each, at a minimum.
