Well considering the rcmp, calgary police service, calgary emergency response, provincial security and safety group - 40 people working for five months came up with that $495 million dollar budget, i’m inclined to believe them over a journalist pr single proffessors skeptical opinion.

Also, it’s a good thing security is a national matter not a municipal one. I can’t imagine Calgary declaring an international response to a bombing at the olympics.

There’s also only been two cases of security threats during the olympics, munich in 74 and Atlanta.
