Well hopefully Calgarians vote for a once in a lifetime opportunity to host a major worldwide event. This opportunity probably won’t show itself again in our lifetimes.
Some people are ok with being an average city because they already experienced the Olympics in 88 and don’t need to experience it again.
The financial arguement is just an excuse for nimby’ism. Taxes will go up Olympics or not.
Federal money is already earmarked for events in Canada. But hey, why should Alberta get any of that?
