    Is Canada participating in the Olympics?

    I thought these were the summer games? ;)
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Well, it's not the Winter Olympics, so it's just not as much fun.... ;) But I'm going to say that the equestrian team is more than due, especially Eric Lamaze. I'd love to see a medal in dressage and/or eventing though - my old sports! :D

    Sorry, done being a horse nerd. That's all I really know anything about, though, for summer sports.

    I swear I recently saw an interview with some athlete who wore it around his neck and it had nothing to do with hockey??? Must have been out to lunch that day because I did just read that Gretzky gave it to the HHOF!

    You should check out the HHOF if you haven't been it is definitely a Mecca for hockey fans! And I think it is only fair they keep the cup in TO seeing as that is a close they will ever get to winning it!!! :p

    ZERO! And I only say that because Ron Mclean and his hatred for the U.S. tends to drive me insane. Get over it Ron!

    Canada has better chances in winning Olympic medals than our country...
    what is essential is invisible to the eye

    apparently, 07162056 is THE date...

    I think we'll get about 20.

    Hometown boy Tyler Christopher is running in the 400m next Thursday ... but I start work when his event is on (6am). :(
