- transportation issues (there's bound to be massive congestion at Lions Gate Bridge for instance....if there's an accident on the bridge or on the Sea to Sky, we're ####. And if it snows during the Games....well, i don't even wanna think about it)
- weather (self-explanatory)
- domestic terrorism/violent protests (self explanatory)
- international terrorism (the worst of it....police and intelligence resources are currently being wasted, thanks to our protesters. the biggest threat is international terrorism, they see us as weak already with our pulling out from Afghanistan because of the soldier deaths. They know the more they kill of our soldiers, the more likely we'll pull out. Even those that tried to bomb the CN Tower and other Ontario targets admitted that they thought we were weak because of that. And the Ontario incident just proves how real the international terrorism threat is to Canada - god forbid attacking Vancouver 2010)
