StefanMUC Posted April 17, 2022 Report Posted April 17, 2022 So most of these problems are being faced by governments of all colours around the world right now. Still no reason to call that a “regime”, especially in the current context of world politics. Quote
Scotguy II Posted April 17, 2022 Report Posted April 17, 2022 I think you take the term regime differently from me. To me it means current government or ruling party - nothing to do with dictatorships or oppressing countries. You have taken my comment completely out of context and turned it right around to mean something completely different. i was only stating why it is not plausible for New Zealand to make a bid for the Commonwealth Games in 8 years time, given how things currently are in the country. Yes most countries are facing the same issues, but to the outside world they see and hear of New Zealand being a country that during COVID times is very successful in most things. But that is far from true. 2 Quote

Australian Kiwi Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 Auckland? It makes me wonder wtf the CGF were actually doing for the past few years in the lead up to 2019 when the 2026 host was meant to be selected. I just can't shake the feeling they were not doing anything proactive at all (especially when you read that there is interest from cities - it just seems like they were not engaging ). They're very lucky for the can-do attitude of one Australian state, otherwise it would be all over. Quote

They're very lucky for the can-do attitude of one Australian state, otherwise it would be all over. The CGF would have left the games in Birmingham for '26 had've Victoria passed. As for Auckland, far too late for that city to throw up a hurried bid, even with regional centres, Hamilton, Tauranga and Whangarei able to help out. The Commonwealth itself, we are stepping into uncharted territory as QEII only has a handful of years left of life. This was her favourite thing and she the reason why it hangs on. We have seen the visit of the Cambridges to the West Indies ended up being a PR disaster with an Empire like air to the tour pretty much pushing those respective islands towards republics. Hosting the games at the moment is a big money risk with little gain. 1 1 Quote
SportLightning Posted April 24, 2022 Report Posted April 24, 2022 Yeah i don't think Auckland is going to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. I know Hamilton (Canada) is still in the running and is more likely to host. Quote
Australian Kiwi Posted April 29, 2022 Report Posted April 29, 2022 Well, when a member of the Commonwealth - the Solomon Islands - has effectively pledged allegiance to the CCP I can't really see that happening. Quote

2018 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Posted May 20, 2022 Looks like Hamilton 2030 will have many venues spread out in its plans. Have head aquatics would be held at a new venue in the KW metro area (about 50 mins away from Hamilton). Originally diving was supposed to be in Toronto and a new venue was to be built for swimming at McMaster. Hamilton 2030 is also considering international proposals to co-host the games. Quote

International? Where? Jamaica? I like the idea of a Southern Ontario regional Games in a similar vein to Victoria 2026. Focus can be on Hamilton but would be a waste not to utilize Toronto or Waterloo. Quote
Apple Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Posted July 4, 2022 Hamilton re-confirms support of 2030 Commonwealth Games bid https://www.insauga.com/hamilton-re-confirms-support-of-2030-commonwealth-games-bid/?fbclid=IwAR1mtXvHBxS0YTfpjxOI8lwsD7VPj-HV_b5qpyJ6tU5sne-_Yj2BezkQoQ4 On Monday afternoon, city council’s general issues committee (GIC), including representatives who are not seeking re-election this fall, voted 12-2 in favour of upgrading Hamilton’s memorandum of understanding with the Hamilton100 Commonwealth Games Bid Corporation. The first MOU with Hamilton100, which is headed by Carmen’s Group CEO P.J. Mercanti, was signed in 2019. 1 Quote
2018 Posted July 5, 2022 Report Posted July 5, 2022 I wonder who the Federal government will support? Vancouver 2030 or Hamilton 2030? Hoping its the latter. Quote
Apple Posted July 5, 2022 Author Report Posted July 5, 2022 Ugh, Vancouver winning the 2010 bid also affected Hamilton's 2010 Commonwealth bid. The Games was awarded to New Delhi. Quote

Have to wonder if the Commonwealth Games are now considered such a small non-event in Canada that they probably could get away with hosting them in the same year as the Winter Olympics. Quote

AustralianFan Posted July 17, 2022 Report Posted July 17, 2022 “Canada's co-Chef de Mission for Birmingham 2022 believes the country could host both the Winter Olympics and Commonwealth Games in 2030.” “Vancouver is in the race to stage the Winter Games in eight years' time, with Hamilton widely tipped to hold the Commonwealth Games in the same year as a centenary edition, 100 years after the city laid on the inaugural event.” Quote
