Narga_Rocks Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 In celebration of my country winning the Men's and Women's Hockey Golds, I'm making a topic. Oh, and we have the most golds for a host country in any Winter Olympics ever. And with the Men's Hocky Gold, we have the most golds in a single Winter Olympics by any country ever. Go Canada!

Narga_Rocks Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Canada ftw. I should've suspected you were Canadian, Narga. Why? There's the whole "I use Canadian spelling" thing, but other countries spell things like "colour" rather than "color" as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defeatist Elitist Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Well, I for one thought we would continue the proud Canadian tradition of fucking up when it really matters.

(Aside from the Women's Hockey Team's "Celebration") It's the way CTV and officials and whatnot drone on about how fucking great we are. Or how every time we didn't get a medal, or didn't get a gold, they spent so much fucking time justifying it, and saying stuff like "We didn't LOSE gold, we WON silver" for like 10 minutes. Or how people talked about Patriotism and Canadian Spirit so much. I personally was against the Olympics anyway, but I don't actually mind watching them. The problem was that the way PEOPLE seemed to treat somewhat disgusts me. Plus, all Canadians are pretty much assholes about hockey anyway.

The problem was that the way PEOPLE seemed to treat somewhat disgusts me. Plus, all Canadians are pretty much assholes about hockey anyway. I spent half the Olympics in the States and most of the rest of it without access to a TV. I saw some of CTV's coverage on like the last two days and had it on mute most of the time it was on so I wouldn't really know what you are talking about, fortunately. I never had a problem with CBC's coverage of previous Olympics, including 2006 where we got 24 medals total (and not nearly as many golds). Maybe CTV's people are just less professional than CBC's (or I'm easier to please)? And Canada has never been anything that could even partly be described as humble about Hockey, so it's no surprise if we get a little rude about our accomplishment there. Or, put another way, I've always known how we are about Hockey so anything I see in relation to Hockey won't make me any less proud to be Canadian. I don't drink, but: jump to ~46 seconds.

Well yes, I must be honest, CBC is quite a bit better than CTV. I dunno, patriotism in general tends to piss me off, or at least what they try to peddle on us as patriotism. 8] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, this Olympics has made me considerably less proud to be Canadian. 8[ We did. Remember how the stupid fourth pillar of the olympic flame/torch/thing screwed up? Really glorious. That and driving poor Gretzky from Vancouver to Whistler in the back of a pick-up truck. That part was just retarded. Also, if you guys though that CBC/CTV coverage was bad, you should try and give the French coverage a shot. People are counting "Quebec medals" and "Canadian medals" separately around here ffs (of course, no-one gives a shit about the Canadian ones). That and everyone is bitching about how French was underrepresented (Even though French channels never bothered to translate all the interviews with non-French-speaking Athletes and just aired them in english. Considering that around 50% of Quebecers can't be arsed to learn English because it hurts national pride or something, 50% of people just didn't understand. But of course, the "English-Canada", that's how they call you guys, gets all the flak for that.) and how there were more Ontarians than Quebecers on the guys Hockey Team (hilarious).
