I'm a big fan of the Olympics and would love to see them in Calgary but the plan or lack there of is simply too much to vote yes. City council should be ashamed of how they force fed this to Calgarians. I feel like it is more about Council trying to pad their legacy by bringing the Olympics to Calgary.
The proposed plan has too many holes and too many questions to logically vote yes, even as bad as some may want the Olympics (myself included).
No plan for a new arena, refurbishing a 66 year old McMahon Stadium, pouring money into old structures. No thanks. If Calgary is going to host the Olympics it should be done right, with a real plan to leave a real legacy.
