I understand why so many people in Toronto are against having the Summer games in Toronto. (too expensive, social issues that need to be addressed first), but it would be so nice to have the Olympics at home. The Pan AM games were so much fun. I think just like the Pan Am games showed, we'd get over it right quick. I think Toronto hosting a Games would be great [even though as a Torontoian, it would be murder during those two weeks]. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/46611-the-closing-ceremonies-see-you-in-tokyo-2020/page/3/#findComment-2503368
