Of course, therein lies the rub: There is a provincial AND federal election the year an Olympic bid is due. Canada and Alberta are likely to have huge deficts and growing debt as those elections come into focus. So spending billions to host the Olympics is going to be a very hard sell, especially since the NDP is likely to lose and the right wing party, whatever that ends up being, will be running on a cutting taxes/cutting spending agenda...yeah, where's the support going to come from?
