Ghostsof1915 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I think we have other priorities, like our healthcare, over having an Olympics again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 16 hours ahead (or 8 hours behind so I do less math)... another brutal time difference but I guess my late nights will always be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tourism sector in BC had been devastated too. Will take years to get back. If they can do the games again with a good budget, which I think they can since all the major infrastructure and venues are already built, they can actually make money. Also get more federal dollars, perhaps upgrade the Canada line to support a larger population and ridership. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
