2010 Winter Olympics

[slain]

I am so incredibly proud to be Canadian right now. Not everything has been perfect, but as a whole, the event feels really special to me.

[Guest DroMPHo]

Furlong should shut up though.

Have the Mounties sung Star Spangled Banner yet?

Did the AP spoil the Cauldron?

Am I the only one who thought of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXtVrDPhHBgwhen he said "Zed...not Zee".

[Guest DroMPHo]

No, I'm pretty sure the entire country thought of that

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

That advert was meant to be ironic right?

Whats a Governor General? Like what does it compare to in the US? Anything?

Think of the President without any real power. Same responsibilities as the Queen of England (mostly ceremonial).

Well yes. But not all 4 at once. I don't like

Steve Nash

being on that list despite Vancouver ties

when was the last time he represented Canada?

Edit: Just realized you were referring to the Zed part.

Governor General is like the VP without being in line for Presidency or any real say in anything.

Just as the torch bearer enters the stadium, a man with short blonde hair and a spangly waistcoast lays him out with a clothesline.

[Guest DroMPHo]

What a dumb song.

[sahyder1]

Why IS Steve Nash there? HE NEVER PLAYS FOR CANADA!

[arwrestling]

Anyone else here mark out for Garou? lol

It's too bad Ginette Renaud didn't sing part of the song too... buut hey good enough for me!

So far I gotta say I've been loving the opening ceremonies this year... they're great!

[Your Mom]

Wow this is awkward

[Guest DroMPHo]

THIS IS 3/4 AWESOME

[Clawson]

Only in Vancouver can they not get the Olympic cauldron to work properly.

He was the Captain of Team Canada at the Sydney Olympics.

Channel Ten here in Australia have been showing the crash all day on all of their news bulletins. Does anyone know what was the actual cause of death (I mean apart from crashing his fucking sled)?

....*hums Blame Canada*

[Crybaby Bunting]

Well he did smash his head on a concrete pillar... there's really nothing more to it :/
