Speaking of poorly organized, there were many who would have voted ‘yes’ if we had a competent municipal/provincial/federal gov’t. Many of the votes were not cynical of the games, but were cynical of the crews currently at the helm. Calgary and Alberta are industrious go-getters and we could pull these off easily, I think the main concern was wanting levels of gov’t that would allow us to flourish in the way we should be. It’s hard to run a race when ridiculous policies have not only tied your legs together but tethered you to an anchor.
