Might It Possibly Be OK If We Kick Some Ass?

Why the world finds Canada’s quest for Olympic gold strange and adorable.

I wrote about half a post just like this in my head last night when I couldn’t sleep. Read this one while I sort mine out.

YouTube - ‘Sub-Domestic’ by The Constantines on Q TV

They’re one of those bands I love to watch while they make music.

You don’t have to remind Vancouver to Sing Like Kreek. We’re already on to the next verse.

  • NBC: How much easier would this Olympics be if it wasn't taking place in your backyard, in Canada?
  • Patrick Chan: I don't want an easy Olympics.
I love the design, and I love that the money’s going to people in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. A nice way to counter the corporatisation taking over the city right now. [via]

The New York Times: Flavors of Vancouver
