An American’s view on Canada!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Travel Queen @ 11:30 pm

I saw this for the first time today.

Tom Brokaw did a piece just prior to the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Vancouver winter Olympic games. I was glued to CTV so I missed the NBC airing of it. This morning the video on YouTube, had roughly around 22,000 views and now, just before midnight of that same day… it’s almost at 53,000. I know I’ve watched it several times… crying each and every time! It’s favourited in my iPhone, so now when I need a ego-boost about this marvelous nation I live in… I can thank an American for making me feel so patriotic!! Thanks Tom.

If you haven’t seen it. YOU MUST WATCH!! Enjoy, grab that kleenex box just in case…

Last medal count was 8 (4 Gold; 3 Silver; 1 Bronze)

This crazy Canuck is proud to call this place HOME! Here’s a photo with my Dad and one of the torch bearers. She’s a good customer at his restaurant in White Rock, BC so she had to let him see it up close and personal.
