On this day, the end of a long work week, I feel it necessary to take a time out from business chatter, and truly express how proud I am to be Canadian.  It seems like only now, that we are hosting the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, that world is finding out how awesome we  really are.  The U.S. is praising us!..come on! how often does that happen…that being said we shouldn’t need praise from our neighbours to feel good about ourselves, but for too long we have been over looked and under appreciated.  Well here we are, presenting ourselves as the classy neighbours to the north, hosting the biggest party in the world, and pulling it off BIG TIME! I think hosting the 2010 Olympics will also serve as a great jumping off point for other opportunities, now that the world has seen us at our very best.  So once again, saying it loud and proud, I LOVE CANADA!
