The overruns will run huge as they always are, city taxes will skyrocket, and slashing of needed social infrastructure will occur. All so the rich and elite of the city can have an orgy of money, greed, and wealth, under the guise of the Olympic spirit. They trot out celebrities to make people vote with their feelings instead of their brains. It's all so openly gross and transparent.
The bid is garbage.

I do not care for the bid itself; however 25+ years later and for past 6 years my child has been using the Oval which we would not have without 88 Olympics. I never entered the Oval before that, but am glad we have the option for people and families to experience. And no I do not expect to have a child in the Olympics as a reason to vote yes.
I believe further legacies will be provided for our city if 2026 occurs in Calgary.
