Calgary is Calgary because of Oil and Gas. Alberta is Alberta because of Oil and Gas. Without O&G Calgary wouldn't even be Winnipeg, we'd be lucky if we were Saskatoon.
It bugs me to see the constant comparisons to 88 when it's a completely different world in terms of cost and security threats 30 years later. I'm glad that Olympics went well for the people who were around at the time but it doesn't mean the Olympics are a good idea now.
