Whatever.

Canada's going to bring home five golds, eight silvers, and six bronzes.

Meanwhile we in the states will be watching Jon and Kate and Jon's Lover and Kate's Girlfriend plus Eight

@1 - CBUT isn't showing the Olympics. It's only on BCTV.

Max, word to the Motherland on Anja Paerson. And speaking of the Motherland, I am hoping the Swedish Hockey and Women's Curling teams repeat the glory.

Swedish Women's Curling!!

The Winter Olympics are by far the best Olympics.

I'm excited for downhill skiing. I know nothing about it as an organized sport, but I like watching.

Another bonus: my sister is very close to qualifying for some of the skiing events...

(name withheld for privacy)

We thought about going up there to see her, but I don't think I want to deal with the crowds and general madness...

It's a huge feat, and Vancouver is truly a world-class city. I don't know if it's fiscally wise, but the world has changed a lot since the games were awarded. I know second-guessing every decision is a Seattle pastime, but other cities actually agree on plans and go forward with them. Meanwile Seattle relies on buses, the Viaduct and the 520 bridge.

The big disaster may be a lack of snow.

@7 - if you go up, remember the light rail line goes to Whistler, so anywhere - anywhere at all - along the light rail line is just a few minutes from the Olympics sites.

@10 - wtf? um, there have been black British Columbians since the province was created, and my next door neighbor in Trail did just as well as I did. Not everything translates - keep your US attitudes on racism in your US box, cause in Canada most racism is about your culture and your language, not the color of your skin.

Ah, yes my hero Lindsey J. who taught me to never let the nearly confirmed reality of the ENTIRE U.S. SNOWBOARDING TEAM SWEEPING THE GOLD MEDALS get in the way of a little showboating. We all could use this lesson.

@14 - that's why I'm powering Curling with the BC Hydro Power the Games app on Facebook.

@11 - no, the light rail line goes nowhere near Whistler. There was a heavy rail line there, but passenger rail service along it was cancelled a decade or so ago in a huge, scandal-filled thing.

The only service between Whistler and Vancouver during the Olympics is the VANOC-operated bus line. Hope you already bought tickets.

#16:

It's true that there is NO light-rail to Whistler but there is regular rail to Creekside:
