Good leaders know how and where to allocate resources, and any politician in Winnipeg or Manitoba who thinks this is a good idea, needs to give their head a shake. Spending money for "practice" in case this comes up again in the future is indicative of bad leadership. And yes, politicians spend on all kinds of frivolous things that are a waste of money but this just makes no sense. The embarrassing part comes from the fact that they seem to be oblivious.
I'm not even commenting on Calgary's bid. At least it tics off one box - being a metro area of 1 million plus. So even though I think Calgary is a long shot, it's not what I would qualify as embarrassing.
