You're both right. The answer, of course, lies in what narrative you wish to present. OCO88 turned a profit, and turned that profit into a massive positive legacy for both this city and our nation as a Winter Olympic entity.
OCO88's accounting did not include what the government spent, however. So the question of whether Calgary made or lost money will depend on whether or not you think the government cost was money well spent.
