Huh… I mean, good for us, I suppose. Seems undeservedly high considering we have just one major sports team and haven’t and also don’t plan to host any major international sporting events, to my knowledge.
I’ll take it though!

^^Yay!! Good for us. We need to keep up the great work on this. Having CGY steal that big volleyball tourney doesn't help our cause and we need to make sure things like that don't happen again but hosting things like the ITU and FIBA events certainly help our case to be ranked high. Need to retain all we have and keep adding more.

Has anyone seen any news coverage on this locally? Some city's media outlets would be all over accolades like this.

Interesting that we beat out both Toronto and Vancouver. Not sure if the number of professional sports teams is an important criteria here, but if it is quality probably counts for more than quantity.
We have some quite good facilities for a city our size which probably counts for something, so while we haven't hosted a lot of big international events lately, we have in the past and perhaps can in the future again too.

It seems that podcast journalists are beginning to supplant the legacy outfits more and more, week on week. Some are "collectivizing" under different banner groupings (e.g. "The Meidas Network"); I can't yet sense whether this is a good thing or a bad thing but it sure is shaking up the norm. I do like that some politicians are joining the fray and speaking directly to the people with their own podcasts (e.g. California's Gavin Newsom and Canada's Charlie Angus)

Former NDP leader Tom Mulcair has provided fairly good commentary on TV and in newspapers for the last several years, but more do seem to be going the podcast route now.
It probably gives them much more flexibility about what they want to talk about and how they want to say it . If you are already known, you don't need legacy media to attract an audience.
In some ways it can be good (ie. less filtered) , but I feel the audience they attract are mainly people that already agree with them, so mostly preaching to the converted.
