I can’t even imagine our city saying no to the Olympics. Of course I’ll be saying yes. People get so caught up in fear mongering and hyperbole when the question gets posed but just like in ‘88, when it comes time to host the world, 99% of Calgarians will love it. Calgary has always been a “can do” city. With our people and passion for volunteerism, there’s no doubt we can make this work. It’s the main reason I’ll never live anywhere else despite these crappy winters. The economic woes of the city and province right now makes it even more important to get going and pursue big projects. I know that online discussions are almost impossible to keep positive these days but it would be awful if this mentality prevented us from continuing to grow as a city.
