That's a very good point. They could always have the DH and some of the other sports requiring a slope in Vancouver and just re-use the 2010 Olympic facilities for those sports. Given that France did something similar in 1992 or 1994 (not sure which year) by distributing events rather widely there is a precedent for Quebec to do this.

Yes, Quebec City by all means. Give them the opportunity to throw eggs at the Olympic Athletes?

Like Saskanna said, we can't afford the olympics and buy eggs too.

I agree. Why should we be opressed by IOC royalty without a protest.
... besides, Wasn't Obama going to get that one for Chicago?
