Canada is not Greece.

Do you think the infrastructure used for the World Cup 2006 is crumbling and not being used? Olympics 2012? Think again.

Canada is a G6 nation, remember that. Almost all Canadian cities have modern NHL rinks and CFL stadiums except Calgary. If and when Canada hosts a WC (or other major sporting event), you would be glad to have Calgary miss out because you think "billionaire should pay for his own arena/stadium", while other Canadian cities enjoy international and prestigious events? Calgary is consistently skipped over for concerts as well, it's not just sports.

John Oliver is right about many things, but not all things.
