I think for how these games have united the entire country, and reinvigorated such a passion and excitement among this generation of Canadians. Yeah. I think it's definitely well worth it. I think also the perception of Canadians have changed a bit too, and I hope that Canadians see themselves a bit differently too.

These games will be, as some say, remembered for decades, generations even. Vancouver and its citizens should be proud about being Canadian, but also proud that we've held a pretty good party for 17 years, with the second half of the Olympics a strong push in the podium for medals. It's really quite awesome, and gives you goosebumps to see how these games have united a nation. We're no longer the "country to the north" - but a great nation. I love Canada, my country. Canadians are AWESOME

It'll be interesting to see just how the city, and the country responds moving forward. I hope good things come out of this.

By the way, when does construction on the roof of BC Place begin?
