You do realize that describing the Olympics as an 'investment' for Calgary infrastructure also entails the comparison of 'risk' that you would talk about for a typical investment, right?

Most of the 'no' side isn't against this idea. It's the idea that the risks involved would likely over run any benefit from investment. Or at least the levels of government and Bidco didn't dispel those fears with the information made public.
