***UPDATE***
Of the 304,774 ballots cast, 171,750 or 56.4 per cent were against Calgary hosting the 2026 Olympics, with 132,832 in favour.
Creating a new thread as many people wanted to see a new poll. Some info on the bid that doesn't appear to slanted:
The Games are estimated to cost $5.1B

Government of Canada, $1.45 billion.
Province of Alberta, $700 million.
City of Calgary, $390 million, plus $150 million credit for previous financial commitment to improve a downtown district that would be a Games hub.
Town of Canmore, $3 million.
