I'll agree that Vancouver is not necessarily a winter city but the infrastructure for the events are there and it's proximity to the mountains is good enough reason for me. There are always criticisms for every host city that they won't be ready (if I recall correctly, the birds nest stadium in Beijing was almost not complete in time). I don't know what to say about protesters. I guess that if the events are run in a free country, protests will come with the territory.
