Wow that's really shitty, Vancouver is going to go down in history as the first Winter Games with an event related fatality. RIP

been glued to CTV since i got home at 4pm. for some reason, their production quality seems above and beyond what CBC ever did. i figure it's cuz they really try to pull at your emotions.

Hosted three games with no gold. The only country in Olympic history. So sad........

Whoever gets Canada's first gold is going to be one heck of a hero.


What if we don't get any gold. Is that possible? I hear the ads on TV and there seems to be so much positive feeling amongst the athletes. They are saying we will lead the medal count by the time the games are over. WOW!!!

GO, Canada, GO!!!!!

Now you know how the Chinese felt during the Beijing Olympics.


Except, we aren't going around other countries waving flags and shit.


I've always been proud to be Canadian. These games just confirm it. Knock us for our pathetic healthcare system, high cost of living, taxes, whathaveyou, I would not want to live anywhere else.
