That was a great opening show! Looking forward to watching the rest of the Olympics in Canada.

Its not over yet. Just saw Bobby Orr help carry the Olympic flag into the stadium along w/ Jacques Villeneuve, Terry Fox' mom, Donald Sutherland.. etc..
Though I think they might be having an issue with the machine that blows air onto the flags...

Outstanding ceremony! I hope Canada finally wins her first home-game gold medals.

It's a shame that the show seemed to have that problem at the very end.

Beaut ceremony Canada!




I'm playing kd lang right now as her number made me want to hear her some more. She really has the most perfect voice in the world, imo. Must be a Canadian thing because I think Sarah MacLachlan is another songbird with a gorgeous voice, as is Celine Dion and Anne Murray.

Great show. Though you can thank an Aussie, David Atkins (who did the Sydney Olympic ceremonies), for orchestrating the whole thing.
