I said yes to whether it would benefit the economy of Calgary and area... of course it would but I think the city/Calgary taxpayer would end up loosing money.
The Olympics are so enormously expensive to host now and I just don't see how we would end up in the black at then end of it all.
I wish your survey asked the question "Are you in favor of Calgary hosting the Olympics?"
For the reason stated above, I would have answered NO.
Unfortunately your survey is probably going to end up showing there's a lot of support for the Olympics... which there is... when there is probably a lot of reluctance out there to host it in Calgary (IMO)..
Nickelback already embarassed Canada by performing at the 2010 Olympics, we should strive to avoid that again. As if Justin Bieber and Drake would be any better, because lord knows they wouldn't choose Rush.
Also done, and good luck with accounting, looks like you have no choice for designation (CPA or nothing).

The Following User Says Thank You to Senator Clay Davis For This Useful Post:
Wow! I just want to thank you ALL for the unbelievable support I had on this. We had to get 100 responses asap so we could start incorporating them into our report, and I thought I had to go out to tons of different websites/discussion boards/facebook groups etc. trying to get responses. But, here I post it CP, and only CP so far, and I get 100 responses in 1 day. Amazing. You all saved me a weekend of scouring the web, begging people from Calgary to answer a survey for a college kid. I always knew the people on CP were amazing, and this just proves it more. Thanks for doing the survey, and thanks for not totally not 'Wannamaker'ing it by skewing the results! (Now that I know what it is!)
