Five years ago, on February 12, 2010, the opening ceremonies of the 21st Olympic Games were held in Vancouver. It was a magical time for the city, the province, and the country. You can relive this moment here.

I recall spending most of the evening in the basement with a blowtorch. I guess this means the warranty on my water softener just expired.

Sorry, but the Olympics (any Olympics) are a collosal waste of money.

Someone should have been shot for letting a leftcoast leftard design Vancouver 2010's melted medals. Those things were an embarrassment.

It was such a great time. As a Yaletowner, it was pure magic being at Ground Zero for all the fun.

Can't believe 5 years have flashed by.

So how many more years before they are paid for?

A year later those smiling faces were smashing windows and burning cars.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
