Great job Vancouver and Canada....you did yourselves proud!!!

absolutely outrageous, abominable horrible job by NBC on its coverage....showing the semifinal hockey match on tape delay so as to allow some rinky dink series to be shown in its normal time slot???


and then tonite to leave the olympic closing ceremony to show a half hour preview of an asinine, idiotic show with very little value....where are there heads at?...i understand prempting for local news, but that show??? i for one will never ever watch that show again, if for no other reason than out of protest...

NBC's coverage of the Closing Ceremony was also on a 2 hour (or more) tape delay. The live start of the Closing was 5:30 PST and it was all finished up by about 7:30. On the plus side though, you didn't really miss much after the cutover to The Marriage Ref. Apparently someone in VANOC was given the task of listing all Canadian bands that might play (ie. lip sync) one of their songs regardless of how popular or good they are.

On behalf of Vancouver and Canada I'd like to apologize for Nickelback. Despite what Michael J Fox said, we only like to claim the good talent as our own..... unfortunately no one will claim Nickelback away from us

Also a record for total medal's won by any nation in a single winter games Strangely enough if seems to depend on the newspaper, all the Canadian papers are staying you were first and we were third. All the European papers list the winner as the highest number of golds...... maybe Colbert is right and Canada is "Europe, just with normal toilets"

They are taking a lesson from US politicians and have learned to "spin" the story to their way of thought.

"Spiin" is hardly the exclusive domain of the US politician, they all learn it at a very early stage in their career's no matter where they're from.

True. First they learn to lie then they learn to spin.
