Thumbs down Well they lied about the cost of the olympics

We will be paying for this fiasco for years to come, under the table a lot made a killing.

Now we will be known for the death of a young luge athelete during a run of the mill practice run.
Sad day.

More like we will be known for Indians and French speaking people because of the opening.
I really don't think Canada was fairly portrayed during the opening but instead the squeaky wheels got their damn grease!!!

Well, I will not go into detail, but the cost of the games.......

Could put every kid (boy and girl) in Canada in hockey and out fit them with gear!

The final amount is going to be sick!!!!!!!!!

What the Fawk was up with Gordon Cambell there when the Canadian's came out??? He looked like a goof waving the flag, glad they panned off him and went back to the leader of this Great Land Mr.Harper!!!!!!!

Too late to worry about the cost.
I thought the opening ceremonies were great except for the French before English bull dung.

What a surprise.

Living in Montreal taught me all I needed to know about Olympic finances. Sadly the only question is how much are we in the hole for a 2 week party ?

Canada was not portrayed properly because all the people in charge are not canadian, mostly american and a fair number are australian. They do most of the games regardless of where it is being held. I worked at every venue hosting an event and no canadians were in charge. Hell most of the workers were not even canadian.
