[Senator Clay Davis]

The one thing that's going to be a major obstacle to any bid is the fact that 2019, when the bid is due, is an election year provincially. Given how the NDP is loading up the debt, I suspect adding more debt to host the Olympics will be a problem for the voting public, especially outside Calgary. So this could become an election issue, and it's likely the non-NDP parties would be preaching cutting the debt, not adding to it. And obviously the NDP is likely to be dumped as the ruling party.
