[Senator Clay Davis]

Considering security is gonna cost a minimum of $1.25 billion, I'm not exactly sure where the $1.4 billion Calgary is free to spend on infrastructure on is coming from. But look, I've said this before, but if you wanna go with "I want the party" take, I actually respect it. Don't like it, but respect it. But the attempts to deceive with the patently false/unprovable financial "benefits" as to why to host are not worthy of respect. It's a ploy to cover up the real reason, to get the party. Because I strongly suspect if the final bid is a dud for infrastructure, the supporters here won't change their mind. This pathetic bid this week kind of shows you that, as supporters have stretched and digged for every possible way to say this bid is "good" when it's clearly not. The saddest part for supporters is unless you are rich, you better like cross country skiing and bobsleigh, because tickets to the top events will barely be available at face value, but plentifully available for 3-5 times face value (the IOC hordes all the best tickets, this is not something unknown either).
