My answer is “yes”. So an easy no vote (at least in this poll since I’m not in Calgary). I don’t want my dollars going to support corruption, and Calgary’s reputation being used to legitimize a corrupt organization.
Does anyone argue that the IOC isn’t corrupt? I get there are other reasons to vote “yes”, but it feels like you’re overlooking that reality if so.

Do you watch the Olympics at home, follow it on social media, or check out their online content for any of the Games, news or events?
It's one thing to not want to give them dollars - it's much harder to not give them any attention that helps them generate revenue. Simply by watching or engaging with them in any way is enabling them to exist.
And if you think the IOC is corrupt, then I hope you aren't going to pay a lick of attention to the World Cup 2026 in Canada with FIFA headlining that event.
