Canada has an EXTREMELY poor showing at the 2008 Summer Olympics.  Maybe they can redeem themselves.

The final medal tally for Canada at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics is 18 medals - 3 Gold, 9 Silver and 6 Bronze.


Horrific.

No, actually, this is what's funny... and sad, all at the same time.

They looked a little off in the 1st, but once they switched the lines around in the 2nd, they really started to click.

Canada only won 18 medals at last summer olympics


Australia won 46 medals and its population is only 21 million

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Summer_Olympics_medal_table



China 100 medals = 1.3 billion population
USA 110 medals = 304 million population
Australia 46 medals = 21 million population



Imagine how much Australia would destroy the world if it had a bigger population,,,,
