The only ones who stand to make money are the fat cat developers, the friends of the government and so on .. you'll be paying for this nightmare for years to come and guess what.. all that supposed tourist money that will roll in.. don't count on it.. I hope there is a special Hell reserved for those that brought this on our heads. :>((((((((((((( you forgot to include the multi billion plus $ spent on avoiding being a target for terrorists. yes.. nice price tag that should be spent on health care, education etc for those who actually live here.

You have reaffirmed my courage in driving up to Whistler . In the past I have been terrified of the " Highway to Hell ...99 " . It's now a reasonably safe drive for a puss like me. Julie

Great post. And... What Sarah said! My 4-year-old wanted to learn to skate to keep up with Quatchi, whom we have skated with a few times. Oh yes, I believe!

Still super funny and very true. Thanks for putting this interesting spin on the Olympics. I for one am unbelievably excited about the Olympics and coming to Vancouver 2010. Come February 19th there is no place I would rather be than in Vancouver with the rest of Canada and the world. And I love Sarah's comment! These games are an inspiration to the next generation of Canadian Olympic althetes. Go Team Canada! I read this awhile ago and just read it again. Still super funny and very true.

My favourite Mascot moment was watching Miga Cross-Country ski at Whistler Olympic Park last year. Miga had a bit of a fall, and a 7-year old was watching. Miga got back up and kept on trying. The 7-year old then turned to her parents and said, if Miga can get up and try that I can learn to ski too. Do you believe?
