The emotional impact and community building of having the Olympic games in Vancouver can’t be overstated.
So far, I see no problem in Vancouver having this incredible Olympic experience in 2030. You can even expand that legacy elsewhere in the city, you never know. It is the people of Canada, Vancouver, Whistler and Richmond who are sure of all of this.
One of the rare cases it seems
We may need it in 2030 because Quebec is gonna yell we wanna leave again.
Housing pricing is a good reason not to have them. Do you know how much it is to get A ROOM here especially since 2010? Its ridiculous
Comments turned off on all the CBC stuff on the blockades with tens of thousands of more views.
That is one nice podium
What about the Canada Line?
It was the second thing noted.
Canadaa line was for the Olympics? didnt know that
The 600 million dollar highway improvements that save 4-5 lives a year is the biggest accomplishment. Take it from someone that drives the 99 on the regular; it’s FAR superior in its current state to the one that preceded it.
There is a reason why every car commercial in Canadian history has been filmed on the S2S highway. That’s over reaching, but you get the point.
What about the legacy of Australians getting that sweet sweet powder at Whistler?
So many aussies in whistler It’s almost like vacation in Australia lool!
its a very good video and i like it
hey
The Canada line wasn't a legacy. It was in planning 20 years prior to the 2010 Olympics. The Olympics just kicked it into action. Glad CBC got that part right and didn't stick it in there
I seem to recall that the accompanying cultural olympiad was supposed to blow up the arts in BC and its global image and reach. Probably fair to say that was an utter failure.
The trail is marked with 3 stone
silly me, i thought this would talk about how poor folks lost their homes
@J.W. S.D yes, even in vancouver whole neighbourhoods were lost
“Olympic village *BIRBS”*
Birbs
How did it change Vancouver and Whistler? Rise in house prices from Chinese investors taking all your land
Second
First
@@batteryelectricvehicle2749 What do you find odd about it?
That you even care to be "first"
What a legacy you leave behind.
@@CH-bt1hdSounds like you need a hug?
Are bc tax payers still paying for this
Nope
Locals are
This is a joke, the Olympics brought nothing but pretentious vibes to Vancouver. I’ve seen Vancouver going down the hill after the Olympics, it’s just getting worse and worse...
Couldn’t agree more... hipster liberal hell
Angry old man throws fist in the air and screams at cloud.
