Honestly it feels like Canadian cities chase these games because this is how you get sports infrastructure built. You get some irrelevant games event and then the province/feds shower the host municipality with money to build gyms, tracks, stadiums, pools, housing, etc.
Time to cut out the middleman (basically the orgs that run these games) and just build the infrastructure without having to go through the increasingly expensive charade of hosting the Pan Am or Commonwealth Games or whatever.
