Furthermore - I dare say Canada's relative ambivalence toward the Commonwealth Games (compared to Australia) is a consequence of it having participation in a meaningful event like the Pan Am Games.

Canada is a nation of the Americas - a far more vital representation of its future than its past (the Commonwealth Games). 

Australia sadly isn't a participant in the Asian Games (our counterpart to the Pan Ams). If we were I dare say there would be strong interest from the likes of Sydney, Melbourne, etc to host them instead of another dowdy CwG.

Technically yours would be the Pacific Games, because Oceania, but that would be like the USA in the PanAms( or Brasil at the ParaPanAms) in steroids... So, yeah. [And to be fair, because of how spread out Oceania is, you are closer to Asia than most of the pacific nations geographically]

Well Asian Games participation has been actively considered in recent years for Australia and New Zealand - John Coates himself has campaigned for it . I think with the loss of the Commonwealth Games it will be interesting if Australia fills the calendar void with it.

A great legacy would be hosting the 2026, 2030 or 2034 Commonwealth Games

Unfortunately the track and field stadium was ruined for use by a minor league soccer team.
