On the Eve of Beijing

The Olympics officially start tomorrow. Personally, I love watching the Olympics. Since a young kid, I would look forward to cheering on our Canadian athletes and watching in awe, of their dedication and determination. In my opinion, I don't even think China should have been considered to host the Games. After all the political and human right controversies, I thought it was a bad decision. Obviously, security will be on the highest alert in Beijing. Though, I'm opposed to having the Olympics in China, I will be watching the Opening Ceremonies, just to make sure that if anything unusual happens, that I will see it first hand. I do hope that these Games go on without a hitch. But I also hope that China will soon realize, that the way they treat their own people, just has to stop. (although, I doubt that will ever happen). Politics etc., aside, I wish the best of luck to all our athletes from the Great White North. You never cease to mesmerize and inspire me! Go CANADA!
