I don't know about that Cliff, there were as many negative as there was positive things about Rio in these games, and skilled labor(IT staff) is not really that cheap in Brazil, certainly not compared to low cost centers like Bangalore or San Jose(Costa Rica). London was already on the map.

That being said, Vancouver had the Sea to Sky twined by the feds and the provincial government helped with the airport LRT line. If Calgary can get stuff like that out of the deal it could work out.
