......because for seventeen days we, as a country, stepped out of character and allowed ourselves to feel good about excelling at something. We waved our flags high, cheered loud and proud. The naysayers, the Cause For Hire morons will just have to find another cause they know nothing about to take up now, won't they? Like the rest of the world, I suspect they weren't quite ready for the backlash they received. Their message is lost when violence ensues. We're Canadian. We simply will not tolerate it.
Let's focus on the positive, shall we? Good. We won more medals than ever before, we won more Gold medals than any other country in Olympic history. None of our athletes were pulled out for illegal drug use, we won because we were the best. The high marks given by the IOC said it all. Today the world knows what we've always known ourselves.
We are as good as Gold!
