The opening ceremony was ok in general, nothing special except of too much of unnecessary canadian stuff instead of world stuff...it looked like was about canadian games, not international olympic games, and that technical glitch at the end must've been embarrassing for the canadians I guess, after all of those red maple leaves on the floor and canadian national symbols that dominated the ceremony. I don't know, but my impression was that Canada is a little desperate for some attention and I don't know why, because Canada is one of the most developed countries in the world, thanks to the USA of course

We don't really need attention. That's just American jeolosy. Canada is the better version of USA and one of the best countries in the world. At least 3/4 of the world does not hate us. We are also different. We have a lot in common with Scandinavia, UK and France. Of course, the olympics will be about Canada and hence maple leafs. When Italy & Greece hosted it,,, same thing happened half naked people walking around, parthenon displayed..etc
Why should this be different? Anyways, i thought the show was good and that incident at the end was minor.
Also, it was really nice to highlight the aboriginal culture. They are the foundation of Canada. Despite the wrongs we have done to them in the past; as a multicultural country, they can only enrich this nation. Not many countries in the world care about their minorities the same way.

American jealousy? Lol...anyway, the Olympics are not about Canada, but about every country, that's why you got it all wrong. And Canada doesn't have any culture to show the world...1/4 of the show was about some eskimezs in the snow wandering around and doing nothing, half was about irish dance and the rest was non-sense with red and yellow maple leaves falling from the roof.
Greece and Italy are different, they have a story to talk about, but not Canada. And since Canada is multicultural, the show should had been about the world...anyway, as long as you as a Canadian liked it, Canada can sleep tonight...whatever is left of it...
And by the way, that incident at the end wasn't minor, for the simple reason that was at the end, the final act, the meaning of the show, the Olympic flame, but you guys, as I understand, put more effort and time to the falling maple leaves...

What they did with the aboriginals was respectful. Like i said, they are a part of our nation. You don't have to like it. Nobody really cares. We know America's reputation in the world and how they deal with their minorities. LOL at GR & IT comment, some insignificant countries where we know how Albanians are treated. Canada also had a story to talk about. Even greater story. Shane Koyczan poem "We are more" defines it.

I admire your patriotism...well, it makes sense, no wonder we albanians say "qeni leh atje ku ha", but my point is that the show should had been more international, and that doesn't mean that I'm against your aboriginals and the big bear that showed up all of a sudden...well the bear is part of the rich Canadian history I guess... Anyway, as long as you liked it, that's important, whatever keeps your boat floating, and you should like it because was made for canadians after all, not for the world to feel as part of it...

A nice piece about Canada's practices before the games: Oh, (selfish) Canada!A few months ago, Stephen Colbert – whose Colbert Nation stepped up and contributed over $300,000 to the U.S. Olympic Speed Skating Team after it lost its big sponsor – berated Canada for refusing to allow U.S. speed skaters to test out the Olympic facilities. Actually, he initially begged and cajoled Canada. When that failed, he bad-mouthed them for their poor sportsmanship: Colbert used his show to aim some pointed barbs north of the border, while picking up on complaints that Vancouver Olympic officials have been limiting international athletes’ access to facilities for the 2010 Winter Games. “Those syrup-suckers won’t let us practice at their Olympic venues,” Colbert said. “At the Salt Lake Games, we let the Canadian luge team take 100 practice runs.” The issue of access to the Richmond Olympic Oval is one that resonates with the U.S. skaters, although they’re more diplomatic about it than Colbert. “It’s the Olympics, the point of the Olympics is to bring the whole world together and by doing that they’re kind of separating themselves off from the world,” said rising U.S. star Trevor Marsicano… Veteran Chad Hedrick feels the same way. “I think everybody should have equal rights to train on the ice as much as they can,” the Olympic champion said. Well, I now learn that Canada – desperate to win medals at its Olympics – has severely restricted access to “its” Olympics facilities for teams from other countries and other sports. Horrifyingly, Canada’s selfishness may not only have tilted the playing field unfairly in Canada’s favor but already claimed Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili’s life. The course is ridiculously fast (and, hence, ridiculously dangerous): Bobsled, luge and skeleton athletes who have tested the course at Whistler in the last two years have widened their eyes when talking about the speeds generated on the track. Luge sleds generally peak in the mid-80s at other tracks but have hit the high 90s at Whistler. After a luger went a record 95.65 mph at a test event on the course last year, Josef Fendt, president of the International Luge Federation, expressed concerns that the track was too fast. “It makes me worry.” But, even worse, Canada granted non-Canadian Olympians minimal access: One U.S. slider says that some blame should be placed with Canadian Olympic organizers for not granting international athletes more access to the course before the Games. The Vancouver Organizing Committee did add extra training time for the sliding course because of its difficulty, but U.S. athletes told SI that they had had only around 40 practice runs, while the Canadians had hundreds. “The selfishness of the Canadian sliding federations just killed somebody,” the athlete says. “We all know about keeping countries off the track [strategically], but at the world championships in Lake Placid [last year] they knew the course was difficult, so the track manager left the course open. We didn’t always like that, but no one got hurt.” Even before Friday’s tragedy, course access was a bone of contention. U.S. bobsled driver Steve Holcomb, reigning world champion in the four-man event, said last week that the unequal practice time motivated him all the more to beat the Canadians. In November, Holcomb was training at Whistler in a two-man sled when he crashed for the first time in two years. It came on curve 13, which he and teammates have christened the “50/50 curve” because only half of bobsled teams made it through right side up during a training day in early 2009. Beyond being unsportingly, Canada’s selfishness has proven lethal. Linky
