Honestly, Calgary should bid for 2026, with the condition that we also get 2030.

Shouldn't we stop and consider why nobody wants to host these things anymore? Why traditional winter sports countries like Norway, Austria, and Sweden can't get the public onboard?
Maybe it's time to leave the games to autocratic regimes that have no public accountability and can throw billions at propaganda exercises.
