I haven't watched any coverage of the Paralympics simply because it hasn't interrupted any regularly scheduled programing. I will say that I'm a little disappointed, but at the same time I'm kind of all Olympic-ed out after the main games. I think that feeling may be the same as a lot of Canadians, as save for a the fact that these games are on home soil don't really have the same interest in the Paralympics. Also, I feel that there is a great deal of the confusion in that the Paralympics and Special Olympics are one in the same.
That being said I think CTV needs to do more to promote and broadcast these events in order to show Canada what this is. So, the closing ceremony should be broadcast live.
