Don't vote no for the wrong reasons. Calgary 2026 is not about them. Do you think Calgary 88 is Ross Alger, Ralph Klein or Peter Lougheed's legacy? I don't think so.

Well I surely hope everyone thinks pipelines are more important to Calgary than the Olympics. Typically the complaint about this is "They can find money for the Olympics, but can't build a pipeline?"
