Hosting the Olympics in Calgary is a bad idea! Team Advantage considers Calgary's 1988 Olympic bid and how we lucked out financially the first time, the ridiculous demands of the International Olympics Committee (including private traffic lanes and seasonal cakes), fun fascist-Olympics crossovers, the social costs of hosting the Olympics, B.C.'s completely not-ominous "Assistance to Shelter Act" that helped kidnap and displace homeless people, militarized police forces, evictions and gentrification. Finally, Team Advantage examines the role of local Yes supporters and boosters and considers Lenin's wise words: “Put no faith in phrase-mongering, it is better to see who stands to gain!”
