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. |
That's what I find funny about this. Some Yes people here are lashing out now and No voters are all visionless plebs.
Rome, Boston, Stockholm, Munich ... but no Calgary are all just dumb voters, all those other cities choice correctly for other reasons.
