I was thinking about this last night: Does Trump and his general demeanour towards protectionism help or hurt Calgary with this bid?
On one side, Amazon and Bezos have been dead-set against the Trump regime, so they may want to 'stick it to' the white house and give a big FU to Trump.
On the other side, they may be scared of repercussions to the decision, such as tariffs (see: Bombardier), the exposure of tax loop holes, etc.
I hope its the first one.
