And will help facilitate virtually the same things, long term. And hold a lot of the same positives and negatives. And both have money hungry organizations/individuals that will be behind them. So.. um, yeah. Pick your poison pretty much. But if you want the city to escalate its game on the world map, either/both are worth jumping on.

What. This logic only works if for some ridiculous reason you think CalgaryNEXT will have the same world recognition as the Olympics. If you believe that you must seriously overestimate how much recognition a fancy arena gets. Theres multiple Stadium/Arena mega projects already built in the world. Could you name one? I guarantee you're not naming one before CalgaryNEXT was announced.
To compare that to the Olympics is asinine
