88 Olympics put Calgary on the world map.We are still benefiting from it. Tourist activity, all the facilities that were built etc.
Could 2026 put this city on track to being a world class city? Who knows, but it would definitely give this city image a huge boost.
As for cost, who cares? We will all benefit from it in one way or another. The construction projects alone would trickle down to pretty much every corner of business here so we will all get some if not all of that money back.
Biggest downside would be increased traffic jams, construction mess and noise etc.
All in all, I am all for it.
