Canada is on their third Winter Olympics.

Third overall, but only the last two (Calgary 88 & Vancouver) are Winter, Montreal 76 was Summer.

But ever since 911 and the security issues it created, the Olympics are a huge sinkhole - British Columbia gambled because it figured there will be a big tourism payout down the road ("green, renewable jobs" too) - we'll see.
