My only consolation is that I really do feel like I gave it my best shot. From three years ago through to last year I met with key people in Vancouver on three separate occasions. I had good, solid introductions and presented our company overview and proposals representing original content that we could offer the event. Mainly I was after a coveted opening or closing ceremony spot but there were certainly many more opportunities to be had. For a while things were looking promising but it just didn’t go anywhere.

Now here we are on the cusp of the great event and I am forced to watch from the sidelines. I hope for a truly spectacular show and I just pray that some of the old school “Canadiana” gets passed by. I remember my horror watching the handoff ceremony in Turin four years ago and how disgusted I was at how, culturally, Canada always seems to get distilled to ski-doos, mounties, maple syrup and hockey. Let’s broaden our horizons Canada. I know we can do better than that. I’ll be watching (from the beach in Mexico)!
