Winter Olympics a success

Front page of the Globe and Mail February 27th:

It had one of the most calamitous beginnings in Olympic history. Now, as the 2010 Winter Olympics head into their final weekend, they are on their way to being celebrated as one of the best in history. …

That’s how most Canadians are feeling right now. Even the taxpayers from Vancouver … and they normally complain about everything.

Most of the hate I’m seeing online is directed towards NBC TV, especially their decision to tape delay coverage. People want real time live video in 2010. On the other hand, ratings have been far better than expected. The American Brian Williams left Canada a nice thank-you note.
