So what do you mean when you say win win.
I have to agree with you on the Olympics. Essentially you over pay for infrastructure you have a marginal need for.

It's about quality of life ... More than hockey fans use an arena ... having NHL hockey in Calgary does add to the quality of life in this city through our long winters IMO ... there is a lot of infrastructure I do not use but do not resent it... it boils down to what kind of a city you want to live in .... again I hope they can come to terms and we can move past all this ...
