The Canuck contingent leaves, apparently not wanting to be around when sparks fly.

Jeez, they could at least have got better sounding music that's not from a synthesizer. This isn't exactly that maestro Chinese pianist at Beijing here.

Love how the US has a larger contingent than Canada, who automatically qualify athletes being the host nation. Maybe so, but Canada actually turns in the athletes who test positive for doping. I kid. I kid. I kid the yanks outta love. ;D

The Canadians going with the probably Edge/Jericho approved "Own the Podium" scheme, not often that the Canadians are greedy. Remember, they've never won a gold medal in their home Olympics. Thanks for reminding me. Well, things will be different this year.

Didn't they say Rush would be playing? Why aren't they playing along here??? Would be perfect other than this random announcing music. Then Geddy Lee could light the cauldron thing with his burning guitar.

Furtado and Adams are actually Vancouver natives, if memory serves.

The Canadian government is going to have to apologize for Bryan Adams a few more times after this.

Here's a thought. A contest between CTV's Brian Williams and NBC's Brian Williams. Oh God, more 'grand history of Canada' crap. Where's Voltaire's 'few inches of snow' where you need him?

I'm expecting Jean Beliveau to burst out from one of these guy's thick clothing and do some spins around him. Is that Donald Sutherland narrating?

I really hate opening ceremonies.
+10 points for Donald Sutherland though.

I appreciate the Canuck commentators explaining all these things as well as remaining mostly silent throughout...but this stuff seems really New Age mystical to me, which I don't really like here. But again, the Canada guys do a great job explaining everything. I give them an 11. THE BLOB! HE'S TURNING INTO A BEAR! STEPHEN COLBERT, look out!
