We'd need to expand the Canada Line to 5-car train minimum with a train arriving every 2-minutes min.

Well, by that time, hopefully we will have more Skytrain lines that will help reduce our traffic congestion. Plus, if they spread out the venues across all of lower mainland, then all the partying won't be concentrated in downtown like they are now. They will need to setup party centres at Burnaby, Richmond, Vancouver, Surrey, Langley... etc. That should help with people not having to travel all the way to downtown to party. That's why downtown is crazy now, because everybody thinks downtown is the party area. O-Zone at Richmond has been very popular too though, which is why Canada Line is totally overloaded

2) They are saying that 2018 is North America's turn to host the World Cup as FIFA chooses the host nation by geographical rotaion....you never know. But it certainly won't be 2050....

1) Ok good to hear then !
2) Sure it might be NA's turn to win, but it seems like it's only the US that's bidding. I don't see Canada anywhere in that Wiki page.
