Heck Canada's bidding for events after Beijing (twice) and Qatar were awarded.

Sure, and I like going to fun, extravagant parties. I'd like to be able to host a few of my own after this whole COVID thing happens. But no matter how much I love it, and no matter how great a party it's going to be, I'm not going to one put on by the moral equivalent of Jeffrey Epstein.
