dave199 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 So councilor Minan Wong e-mailed me confirming it was supposed to be on the agenda yesterday but it wasn't. I'm curious, did you end up getting any other information from Wong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Long time lurker, new poster here. I see it has been quiet. What's going on with Toronto? Welcome to GB. Nothing much, last month a report was supposed to be presented and it did not happen for unknown reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubled Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Welcome to GB. Nothing much, last month a report was supposed to be presented and it did not happen for unknown reasons. Thank you. I knew about the city report. I was just wondering if anyone knew when it's going to be made public? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thank you. I knew about the city report. I was just wondering if anyone knew when it's going to be made public? I'd assume in the April 16 meeting. However the schedule is not published yet for the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Report will not be released this month either. Either there is a delay or it ain't happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave199 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'm thinking they're waiting until after city council votes on a downtown casino development. That report was just released. It's probably too much for Torontonians to digest together since the casino is such a big topic at the moment. They'll probably release it just before the 2020 vote.

runningrings Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 To be blunt, I think Toronto should sit it out. Regardless of where 2024 is, and pending 2028 is not in the US , Canada would have a better shot at the likes of 2032. Learn from Madrid.

George_D Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I think Toronto should bid for 2024 (its 48 years after montreal 1976). Australia had its 2nd summer Olympics after 44 years (1956-2000), so its logical. Madrid should bid for 2032-2036. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYI Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Australia hasn't had 2 Winter Olympics in between, though, like Canada has. Three Olympic Games for a country of relatively small size is quite a feat. No other country of similar size can say the same. The Madrid comparison is quite appropiate in this case. But it if we conveniently wanna forget about the Winter Olympics, France by 2024 would've waited 100 years, Italy 64 years, Germany 52 years (& they haven't even hosted a Winter Olympics since 1936, either), Japan 60 years & South Africa & Turkey have never hosted at all. So there's many other countries that could make a much better argument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what cities get picked, there will be something we will point to that says this country/region/continent is over/under represented. Why not Canada. People like them.

ofan Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 All of this speculation and reccomendations that Toronto should sit out is stupid. They can't win if they don't try. If they lose, so be it. A city has the right to bid, and if there chances of winning are affected by hosting trends, whatever. Who cares.
