I do agree if you could get every 3rd for 36 years split between Van and Calgary you might make a compelling case.
Commonwealth games are junk. How about if we want to fix McMahon we fix McMahon and avoid the boondoggle.

Why can't the Olympics be done for cheaper?
Why are the security costs what they are? I refuse to believe until anyone provides any type of detail as to what and why security costs are what they are; that they are all that fundamental to the operation of the Olympics. At the end of the day it is a sporting event.
It's so weird how people are just like 'well this is what it costs' and literally nobody asks how / why?
If you're building new structures, do they all have to be "top of the line"?
