Yeah, I love Calgary and I really don't want to see it careen down the tunnel of Detroit and the like. I just don't think that spending a ton of money on the Olympics is the right way to boost the economy. Maybe it worked in '88 but that was ages ago, and we're in a different world. I just don't know what the solution to the downturn is, what industries the city can hope to attract -- but I think we need to invest in more long-term reform.

It all seems very sad at the moment, for certain. Idk what to think
