Budget aside, Vancouver did a fantastic job hosting. It's hard to believe it's already been 22 years since we hosted the games here in Calgary. If our history is any indication Vancouverites should be basking in the Olympic glow for quite some time. I think Canadians learned to to be openly and unapologetically patriotic over the last 2 weeks, a lesson we learned from our southern neighbors no doubt.
Congrats to the US for an incredible medal haul, even if it was somewhat lacking in the Au department.
