So just before six p.m. tomorrow TransLink's gonna have special Olympic messages and they're encouraging everyone to make noisssseee to start the one-year countdown.
Uh...if you see the wacko on the SkyTrain with the BT headphones, suit, and a tie on his head tomorrow that's me, and you now know why.  GO CANADA GOOOOO |

I love the Olympics.......... just hold it somewhere else.
Haven't the poor suffered enough? Holding the Olympics here does nothing for the poor. Only the rich prosper. It leaves a legacy of......... really do you think the poor will go ice skating or skiing? They have hard enough time putting food on the table.
Like I said, I like the Olympics, just not all the costs and commercialism it involves. Good times for the well to do, but homelessness, poverty, health care, education, etc. need funding.
It's too late to protest now that it is going to be here, but it should have been held elsewhere. I guess it's good for the athletes having home court advantage, but..........

I hope everyone that hates on them can stfu and sit at home with your blinds shut and tv off
None of you know the actual costs involved, the olympics will get Vancouver back on track economically alot quicker then we would have without them and it will in fact leave a legacy of sports and community in van
Boo fucking hoo about your tax dollars, if they weren't being spent on the olympics they'd be being dumped into safe injection sites and some low cost housing that would only perpetuate this "homeless crisis" rather then solve anything
Hopefully the olympics makes the cost of living high enough and the city prosperous enough to force the haters to realize they were wrong and now your living out in chilliwack
Olympics ftw, haters ftl, and I'll be firing my unregistered unlicensed handgun into the air at 6pm
GOOOO CANADA!

Heard this morning on 94.5 (Kid Carson?) that all SkyTrains will honk (apparently they do have horns) at 6pm tonight.
And this morning at 8am they unveiled the Olympic Torch at Whistler.

It's just holding the event locally is a burden on a lot of people. I'm not poor and yeah, it might actually benefit me, but there's more to it than......... and your comments are coming from a person who can enjoy those benefits. BTW, don't tell people to shut the fuck up.

Nobody knows the actual costs involved. In fact, we'll be, and I'm not talking just people who live in Vancouver, paying for this event for quite some time.
Back on track economically? How long are the Olympics?
You should have said put Vancouver on the map or something like that........
Legacy of sports........ I gather you meant arenas and venues. Yes, you're right on that as well. Spoken like a true athlete (jock). Perhaps, kids from the Downtown Eastside can take a field trip to the Richmond Olympic Oval and take advantage of the wonderful venue. I think they should scrap the lunch programme there for a month to make the trip.
