It sounds like support isn't strong in Vancouver, but if they got 2030, that would likely push Calgary out of the picture for at least 3 or 4 games.
2038 might be a better option than 2034 since it would be the 50th anniversary of 88.

I would imagine that the further out it gets pushed, the more capital intensive the bid becomes. The facilities at Winsport may be salvageable now, but do they have another 16 years in them to get to 2038 / the 50th anniversary?
As noted before, there are few limited options when it comes to adequate hosts for the winter games. Maybe there's some merit to the idea of having a handful of host cities that rotate duties?
