If you're hoping to get some official Team Canada gear, the Bay downtown is your best bet. However, be prepared to line-up to get into the store. Oh and if your girlfriend is looking for a red "CANADA" hoodie, be prepared to get there early and to fight off other women.

Why the fuck was Arnold Schwarzenegger chosen as a torch runner? Could they not find a Canadian willing to run around Stanley park?

BECUZ
BC has a great partnership with the State of California
we provide them with energy and resources
and Arnold has backed some BC green house movement, plus he loves the city
there is a partnership here guys

I don't have a problem with Arnold running it, when you run 40,000km's you can have a few celebs run with it, olympics is a global thing and Arnold is good publicity Posted via RS Mobile | |

Anyone else hit up the Opening Ceremony dress rehearsal on Wednesday? All the performers were there too, so free live rock concert.
Guys, do NOT miss the opening on Friday. World class performance. This thing was AMAZING. Can't say too much but in terms of effects, it seems to be the best Opening Ceremony I've ever seen compared to previous Olympics.

^ You have to have a written essay and go through an Interview process. For the interview process, you need to fly to Toronto. Then after all that, they'll decide if you make it.
