Aside from the problems I pointed out in the last post, I’d also like to add that much of the opening ceremonies at BC Place was really beautiful – the dancing, the amazing colours, the northern lights, Sarah McLaughlan, the fiddle players, the mountain rising and orange and red maple leafs falling, and KD Lang singing a beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.
And friends in St. Petersburg, Russia said it was beautiful from their end too.
I was proud to be a Canadian through all of this.
