CP's smaller sample poll was pretty accurate.

My stance i would have voted yes if the Feds and NDP would have NOT offered what appeared to be a bare minimum and instead really strongly backed Calgarians on a 5 billion plus estimated price tag.
Reality is Calgary would have been on the hook for probably 3 billion which simply is not fair for the Federal and Provincial governments to expect from a economically struggling city. Personally I am not convinced the Feds or our Provincial NDP were really committed to putting Calgary in a strong position to win the bid without a massive debt load to Calgary.

One thing that I truly believe if this was Edmonton wanting to host the NDP would have offered a lot more and if this was in Quebec the Feds would have approved whatever they needed.
