Give Me A Break

Ok

You won't find a more patriotic and proud Canadian than me following
our country's amazing presentation and results during the last 2 weeks
in Vancouver. The entire world has gotten a glimpse just how amazing
this country and all of our people truly are. Sure we have more gold
than any other Country ever. Of course our athletes overcame personal
tragedy. There was never any question which nation owns "our game".

At last nights closing ceremony we also gave the world another look at
being Canadian - the ability to make fun at ourselves.

From Bill Shatner to Mike J Fox to floating blowup moose and giant
blowup beavers and Mounties we poked fun at all our Canadian
stereotypes. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Imagine my surprise today while driving from NS to NB when I heard the
regular talk-show phone folks talking about how embarrassed they were
at the amazing presentation last night. GET A LIFE folks!!!!!

Humour and particularly the ability to make fun of ones self is a
fantastic and endearing quality many in the world would find
appealing. For anyone to think that last night was a serious
representation of canada are also the same folks who consider the Fox
Network as real news.

Please folks - stop complaining and get a life. Perhaps your just
jealous that you're not getting some in the back of a canoe as it
floats quietly down one of our beautiful lakes or rivers.


Jeez!!!!
