No but it talks about the relative bump and then decay of tourism experienced elsewhere where lies the problem enunciated in Markusoff's column.
Now, I can't actually access the full report, so if you can that would be awesome. I'm not trying to discount the value of tourism dollars in Calgary/Banff, i just think Markusoff's article, and this abstract, present an argument that should be considered.
Essentially it is potentially folly to rely on a two week bump in tourism and the assorted benefits to continue into the future. I don't understand how that assertion is wrong.
Atleast you didnt attack my intelligence though, so you are getting less dickish .
