I am watching the Olympics as we Canadians languish at 1 solitary medal to show after 6 days of competition, I feel horrible for those Canadian athletes past & present who have felt unsupported by our government and therefore our people. I look at countries like Australia & The Netherlands who have way fewer people than us, similar standards of living, but way more success. It was not always that way, but we have allowed it to happen.
I also feel bad for the coverage the U.S. viewers get. With the internet going strong for a good ten years now, NBC still gets away with showing the American gymnast falling on his ass a good ten hours after it happened. Explain to me how a guy who fell off the mat wins the gold. He didn't crack his head open, but I supposed he still would have won.
Losing faith fast - thank god for rowing - oh wait, we got disqualified for invading someone else's lane - the first time Canada has ever unilaterally attacked a sovereign nation.
