You mean Rio?

The place with amazing beaches and weather and all that stuff?

Who wouldn't want to visit there?

If the goal is to increase infrastructure spending and tourism in Calgary, we would be better off bilking the Federal Government for a few billion, then spending that money on making Disneyland North, or Dubai West, than spending it on the olympics.

I don't see why anyone would come to Calgary cause they saw it on TV during the olympics. Or is a new ski jump going to sway their tourist desires?
