rusty_armourI didn't have to go out of my way to learn that Canada won three medals -- one in each metallic hue. If I hadn't heard about it on CP24 then I would have found out from my sister when I talked to her on the phone this afternoon. Actually, she was pissed off because the one day Canada won medals was the one day she didn't watch. *g* Anywaaaaay, while I wish that Canada had decided not to participate in the Olympics, I'm happy for the athletes in question. I know they work hard and I don't have any issues with them. I just don't like the politics of the host country, that's all. Oh, and I'm not exactly thrilled about the IOC pandering to the whims of said host country. I mean, what's the point of establishing rules if a host country can break them? I really don't understand and, fortunately, I don't have to.
