Alberta withdraws support for 2030 Commonwealth Games bid due to cost

The province of Alberta has withdrawn its support for a bid centred around Calgary/Edmonton to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, weeks after the Australia state of Victoria pulled out of hosting the 2026 Games.

Alberta’s tourism minister, Joseph Schow, said that cost was behind the decision.

“It’s not a good deal for Alberta,” he said, according to the Calgary Herald. “When it comes down to it, it has to be a good deal for Alberta taxpayers and this just wasn’t that.”


Good for Alberta, all the “Games” are gamed to line the pockets of the ruling class.

Pity Toronto had no one looking out for its citizens when it signed on to that shady World Cup Deal.
