Olympics


The whole world is watching the Vancouver Olympics. For two weeks the earth breathes with a common heartbeat and acrimony is set aside. What a wonderful feeling to think that the world could be a home to all races and people with a diversified moral and cultural fabric living together in harmony.

The opening ceremonies were creative and show cased the multi-cultural aspect of Canada. The interwoven themes of our aboriginal nations with the peoples of the world forming a union that is the envy of the world. 60,000 people in the dome and billions around the world were spellbound as one surprise after another unfolded before our eyes.

I know that those who watched the program left with the understanding of what a Canadian is. The NBC network was so generous in its praise of Canada as the best friend of the USA brought me to a new level of proudness as Canadian and American neighbours.

The beauty of our great country was exhibited through magnificent photography and appropriate commentary. These games give we the people an opportunity to have a world valentine day where we are able to express our love through games and mutual respect.
