BC showing interest in 2030 Winter Olympics. Quebec City also eyeing 2030 Olympics.

Here's the catch. The Canadian Olympic Committee can only nominate one location.

The announcement of the 2030 Games will be made in 2023.

@RickinCanadia I asked @BogochIsaac about this a few weeks ago. You are correct in thinking the valve compromises the effectiveness of the mask. (Makes sense, really, doesn't it?) I've also asked about the possible buildup of CO2 in masks if worn for long periods of time. It's a non-issue. -MF

[CBC News: The World This Weekend @CBCTWTW]

Wow. This is mighty impressive... recommended viewing if any other reporter is in the mood to feel like a serious underachiever.
