I agree with Ozy_Flame, to add fuel to the fire its apparent that the "no" side campaign is already using a very disingenuous campaign rooted in a "what would you rather spend this money on" angle. This is a variation of the "bread not circuses" special interest group that was prominent in Toronto bid for 1996. They are still waiting for that federal money that they thought was going to build affordable housing in lieu of the Olympics.

The fact is that there will be no money spent on Calgary without the Olympics coming to town. In the meantime I could not help noticing that Edmonton got another new museum thats opening next month:
