I'm beginning to think the reason behind the "passing the buck" of who gets to cancel is probably something to do with who is responsible for lost costs depending on who cancels. For instance if the province cancels the ISU isn't responsible for refunds or something like that - I don't know just feels like there is more to why they don't want to make the call....
The ISU doesn't want to cancel. Just as yesterday's press conference wasn't about the figure skating championship, this is going to be a larger call of every major public event being canceled. Like if you're worried about people being together at the Bell Center why allow the NHL to have games there.
