I just have to say that I am so proud of Canada!

Truly, what a class act!

Indeed Sir, in my TZ we are watching it right now, and I am INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED!

The introduction by the People of the First Nations, followed by the everything else, I am IMPRESSED.

far less than 1/20th of what Red China spent on their facade, and far far better!

My daughter is one of the First Nation dancers from Ontario.  She went out to B.C. about 2 weeks before the ceremonies, where they choreographed and practiced the presentation.  She had a great time and made lots of friends from across Canada.  ;D
