Instead, you're holding a welfare Olympics in old buildings across 4 sites, in 2 different time zones. No thanks.

Get the feds to pay for a new hockey arena and the Green line/LRT extension to the airport. Let Vancouver have the sled sports, etc.
Probably the IOC only bends if they can't find a host, which seems possible to me given the overruns in the recent past. I think the timezone alone would be attractive for them.
