there's definitely a weird disconnect amongst the yes and no voters...

people talking about how the city lacks vision, etc, etc... and yet, the last time i check only one city hosts every 4 years? Only 2-3 cities globally actually get to the point of being a bid city.

All those other cities that don't bid are depressing ####holes then? As mentioned 2026 had a number of cities drop out. The two cities left don't even have government support for the games, so who knows if they'll even end up bidding at all.

last i checked, Calgary was rated by the Economist this year as the 4th most livable city in the world... https://edition.cnn.com/travel/artic...018/index.html

While i don't necessarily agree with that ranking, there are far worse cities to live in than Calgary.
