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.

But Calgary is the perfect city for winter sports, regardless of Olympic hosting. It should be the hub for all of Canadas skiers, skaters, bobsledders etc.
Calgary should routinely host all types of winter events that the Olympics just becomes easy.
Build the facilities here and they will get used.
