I'm here in Vancouver competing in the team drinking competition. It's raining and the grass is green here. Not much of a winter scene.

Anyone in Vancouver?

I got friends from school who live out there now, one of them has been posting Youtube videos about protests and stuff every day. Vancouver has one of the highest poverty & homeless rates in the country so it's a bit obscene to fork out billions on a 2 week event while people have no money & nowhere to live.

to the olympics. Sydney 2000 was the same. Fuck the poor people, move them out of the way.

I agree.

Well it's cool to protest but it's also very cool to have the Olympics come to town. The legacy left behind is great for Canadians.
