2010 olympics sooooo nice! I was so happy to hear that Vancouver won, but seven years that seems like a long time from now. Although I am sure I will still like partying in seven years.

I hope the legacy that the olympics leave behind are a good one. Not debt and useless facilities.
Learn from calgary, follow our example, and recruit grade 6 kids to be volounteers in 2010.

if you want to make some money, buy a whistler condo now, you'll be able to pay it off with the rent money from the games
Although I heard that they might be capping the amount that people can charge during the games.
if you want to sublet a place, cant you charge whatever you want?

I would make this sticky, but honestly, 2010 is a long ways away.
I dont understand how MTL blew it so big.
like a stadium with a roof that never works
here in calgary, weve got the best ice rink in the world(olympic Oval), one of the best bobseld tracks and ski jumps up @ Canada Olympic Park. And we did it all at budget.
its completly different story across the country.
This city would LOVE another olympics, MTL, I dont know if they would or not.
Best of luck to Van.
enjoy that road to whistler when its done.
