Olympic pats and FUs

Pats on the back to our Olympic athletes. Pats on the back to journalists who supported them. Pats on the back to Canadians who supported them.

FU to the journalists who did not support the athletes. FU to the government who could not give a rat's ass about our athletes. FU to Canadians who felt cheated by the athletes and NOT by their government. FU to the PQ for the flag flap. That bears repeating. FU to the PQ for the flag flap.

Did we do well? Yes we did. Could we do better? Yes we can. Can the government do a better job supporting athletes with subsidies and better and more professional facilities? Yes they can. Can Heritage Canada spend more on sport than they spend on Francophone summits? Yes they can.

Can Harper see beyond his limited horizon and realize that the Olympics are a chance to support our athletes rather than just making a statement about foreign affairs? I hope so.

'nough said.
