But doesn’t it speak to a completely different problem when the only way to attract critical infrastructure spending in Western Canada from the feds or province is to continually host the Olympic Games?
Like the feds won’t throw a nickel towards critical infrastructure to the highest level of competition of by far the most popular sport which has large importance in the cultural fabric of our big cities but by all means we would love for these big cities to waste even more money on a two week event?
I understand what you’re saying that it’s aboug strategically attracting more capital to our city but it is still sad that in order for key projects to happen in major western Canadian cities we have to host the Olympics every decade or two.
Is there really ZERO vested interest from the feds or province in seeing the Calgary Flames stay in Calgary? Maybe I guess but that also strikes me as odd I guess.
