Oh and we have a federal election going on in 2019 as well. So yeah if there's big federal/provincially money involved in an Olympic bid, it's going to be a big election issue.
If unemployment is above 9% (No reason it won't be) that would be a lot of medium term jobs to say "Nah" too, especially if public support is high.
