Dynamics have changed. A new crop of 18-25 year olds, who were only 9-14 in 04. Also a population growth of probably 250k (guessing here), who the majority are transplants. Thoughts?

Theres no way. And I dont mean that in a hipster 'you had to be there man!!' kind of way, its just life.
When people call 2004 'organic' they truly mean it. It happened and trust me, everyone was just as surprised as everyone else. It just happened. It seemed like the thing to do.
Businesses profited, but everyone was united in a single cause and goal and it was peaceful and amazing.
But the truest part is that the City, the Flames and the Police were caught totally off-guard and it eventually became something that they werent prepared for and couldnt control.
And thats okay because nothing happened. But thats not to say that they'll let it happen again.
Edmonton and Vancouver ruined the party for everyone. No one can take that chance again.
