I'm not trying to be a wiseass, but I'm really wondering about the indigenous angle. Is this really a big issue in Canada? Was this a display to make the Europeans feel better?
I was just thinking as an American that if we had a similar opening ceremony, it would be a total joke.
I thought the same thing...maybe this was the last part of the deal when they took their land
BeeRAD, I'm really not meaning any disrespect. As I said from the get-go, I was just wondering how you Canadians viewed your Aboriginal people. Was it a PC gesture or heart-felt? If that was held in the US, believe me it would've been a PC gesture. Obviously, you believe that it was more heart-felt in Canada.
I watched the rest of the ceremony today, & it kicked-ass. Good luck in these Olympics to our friends to the North.
...and that's got to be $1250 Canadian $$$ for tonight's ticket right? Sounds a bit exorbitant, but hey, if you've got to be there, I suppose the price is right...
Enjoy the games all!
hey nixon, I hear you loud and clear regarding our currency. And that is why I plunged over 50% of my own wealth into GOLD two Thanksgivings ago when it traded at below $700/oz --- fyi, the charts all say that AU )Gold) is headed wel, over $2000/oz, and that may be just the start of what will ultimately become a "bubble" in precious metals... but I will be there near the "top" ($3000/oz?)to sell and short the GLD (Gold ETF) right back to $500/oz...
