Now according to the BBC, Canada came in 21st place. I've always been rather proud of Canada because we strive so hard to make everyone in the country feel like they belong, we try to take care of our poor, and we are pretty successful in ensuring that nobody suffers from lack of medical care.
But really. 21st place? As Olympic coach Michel Larouche said, "I'm hoping people feel disgraced now."
And I do. All this patriotic pride I've had and it all turns out to be a lie. For crying out loud, we're worse than Romania, South Korea, and China.
Of course, I can take some comfort in the fact that Team Canada won against, uh...whomever they were playing against. This means that once again we can take pride in ourselves as Canadians. Which many Canadians did following the victory by holding up any vehicle without a Canadian flag, even overturning some taxis going about their business.
Yes sir, it makes me proud.
