Solid no.
most of the people i've talked to, except my boss interestingly enough, are voting no.
The numbers the Yes side are putting out are as soft as butter...not sure how anyone can trust them, or better yet, call them 'a good deal'.
a couple of things i don't understand: people talk like calgary is some kind of ghost town without them, even though just this year the Financial Times ranked it the 4th best place in the world to live.
secondly, the yes side is treating this as a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity...except its not...Calgary could simply push back their bid to 2030 if they wanted too... i am betting that olympics suffers the same lack of interested host cities that has been the norm the last couple of cycles.
