I will be voting "yes" and I have zero doubts about it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Calgarians to experience the Olympic Games. We are getting roughly $2B of federal and provincial money invested in our city, possibly more if the Province ups its commitment. Good for the economy in hard times. Good for people's spirits in hard times. Good for sports development. Good for entertainment. Indirectly, I believe, it will also be getting us a new arena, which is good too.
