My thoughts:
Bidding for 2022 showed that many countries are hesitating on bidding on the Olympic Games, especially on the winter games. The costs can be crazy high. Calgary could save a whole bunch of money by using existing (at the time) facilities. Not many cities have that same kind of advantage.
It might be almost handed to us if Calgary wants to host. I don't think its a secret that the Calgary and Vancouver games were both quite successful. Canada will get an Olympics again soon, and if it happens to be the winter, there's really only two cities that really work - Calgary and Vancouver. I guess it's our turn.
I think a Calgary games could help bring the costs of hosting the games back to respectability.
