  • @ripperz1092 there WERE and ARE a lot of people angry about the Olympics. They said it took away from other priorities. Just because you and your freinds were FOR it doesn't mean everyone else was

    so there

  • these guys are such a joke...

  • Russian pigs. They're just jealous of Canada. Thank God that we kicked their asses 7-3.

  • hhhhhhhh

  • What a joke. I swear RT tries really hard to outdo, Fox news. Notice how they don't even show anyone's face to proove this as being real instead, just cite random facts.

  • @MikDonsen Way to go Mike! What do facts have to do with anything? I like how you randomly inserted a comma between "outdo" and "Fox". Keep it up dude!

  • Comment removed

  • what a douchebag he doesnt know shit

  • god this is horrible. is this what qualifies as news in the states?

  • big protests? where? .... and what do these Americans know about Canada? wank wank

  • David Zirin doesn't tell you that his trip to Vancouver was sponsored by the Olympic Resistance Network, a extreme fringe group which obviously brainwashed him with false and misleading information.

    Like any larger city, Vancouver has its problems. We've been spending hundreds of millions of dollars to resolve them in a way that taxpayers can afford.

    Every one of David Zirin's dire predictions in this video turned out to be wrong.

  • Some protest. On the streets of Vancouver the police had to protect the protesters from ordinary Canadians who couldn't stand their anti-canadianism. American protesters who came in and smashed up our downtown were arrested and deported. Some protest!

  • So now you can go and criticize Sochi, you have plenty of time.

    Keep enjoying your negativity and obscurity, wankers.

  • Last night, over 200k people went to celebrate in downtown Vancouver. Vancouverites have embraced the games wholeheartedly. So much for the somber predictions!

    I wonder if RT, a government funded new agency, will take the same somber approach to Sochi 2014.

    Russia is not even a true democracy, and people do not enjoy the same freedom of speech you find here in Canada. Lets see if they report fairly when government opponents get gunned down or go missing.

  • S'all good man. lol, were all shit disturbers. I just hate this Dave guy....

  • You sound like the spokesperson for the protesters. No one knows who they are, cause mostly, they aren't from here.

    The only "enraged" people are those that expect their Governments to build and run their lives for them.

    Cuts and economic difficulties are worldwide, if you bother -or even know- how to read the papers.

    That doesn't stop people from living.

    Your video is shit, and so is your "reporting".

    Enjoy your obscurity.

  • Hate to say it, but these American "reporters" need to educate themselves about the issues before they "inform" the rest of the United States.

  • Who the fuck are these people? This "Dave" guy all of a sudden has the right to speak for an entire city? I have lived in Vancouver for my entire life, and this dickfuck comes along and suddenly is an authority on Canadian issues, an speaks against the olympics (which, despite what he said, IS heavily supported in Vancouver)? He also fails to mention that is was because of the same kind of protests that the people on the east side are on the street. Hate to say it, but these Americ

  • HA HA HA, au HA HA HA, new that would ellicit an intellegent response from some fucking moron and god damit i was right, HA HA HA

  • People does not understand! Last Olympic games were 2000 years ago in Atens.

    New "Games" are gladiator circus, continuation of old Roman Coloseum fights for life or death. Absolutelly nothing to do with noble Atenian - Greek olympic games. Now it is abominal farce for corporations advetising their SHIT and dummy masses to watch PANEM ET CIRCENSES - BREAD AND CIRCUS. SAME LEVEL AS IN ROME AT THE TIMES OF GLADIATORS.

  • That's one hot chick

  • i just watched the opening ceremonies and all the french content gave me a pain in the ass, they are only 24% of the canadian population and we have have to listen to thier wimpy language, sorrry but i pisses me off.

  • really, is it really that much of a pain in the ass? you could just ignore it since it bothers you that much.

  • @buick204 Honestly it pisses me off too. Especially since there is absolutely no english allowed in Quebec. It's bullshit.

  • the cost is over $10 billion

  • Watch the olympics streams in HD at LiveSportsParadise (dot) com

  • Watch the olympics streams in HD at LiveSportsParadise (dot) com

  • nothing against you vancouvrians but that google olympics logo is awful, the worst one they've done, i thoght my cum puter was broken for a few seconds when that came up

  • Gordo ignored opposition to the bid because he wanted his buddies in Whistler real estate to get rich. The Van city council didn't want the olympics, and they got turfed because of it. Stop whining, nobody, especially your MP, is listening.

  • If you are entering Canada, do not express any negative views of the Olympics to customs... they may not let you in. Just a warning... Yes, it's a bit fascist, but that's what is happening.

  • Ur a waste of space, the money has been spent, why the fuck would u ruin it for all. Just because ur too fucking bitter to appreicate the games and u think its a waste of time, does not mean the rest of the 3 billion people watching all over the world share the same retarded views.

  • The burdens that have been coming to olympic host cities are part of why I did not want the 2016 summer games in Chicago. Also, I am concerned with police crackdowns on peaceful protesters in upcoming olympics, and apparently from this video, some of them may not be so peacefully protesting, which is also bad. Also, there is some concern over what olympic values actually are.

  • There are also some concerns with having picked Rio for the Olympics - hopefully they can make it work though.

  • ...and perhaps Vancouver will actually have snow on the ground where they need it - it is kind of surprising they have been struggling to get it while the east coast gets snowfall measured in feet.

  • this guy has NO idea wut hes talking about...

    protest goin to the next stage??? wth.. look at the 2008 beijing one...

  • every one just bitch....

    madder than the fires of hell

    bitch bitch bitch

  • the party's coming whether you like it or not

  • BC has been a goddamn police state ever since the recession hit. It's a goddamn shame.

  • There's a lot of nervous excitement around the city, and I'll be glad when this whole "5 Ring-Circus" has left my fair city. Then we'll begin to evaluate what really happened, and who really benefitted in the final analysis. This clip is bang-on in terms of discussing the very real concerns of Vancouverites, like it or not!!

  • Why do you think the province of British Columbia is moving to a Harmonized Sales Tax system... benefit the forestry industry and other energy sectors while making the general public pay more for living expenses. This Olympic is a repeat of Montreal, and we in BC are going to pay for it dearly.

  • Wow, Media hackery.

  • everything is broken. everything is for the profit of the same few. everything enables the 'state' to use greater disregard for present law and install more camera's, more secret police, military...

    Stop watching these events, stop supporting these events, stop giving money to these events.

  • WOW. I have never seen so many factual errors in one newscast. Both by the idiot reporter and anchor woman.

  • The province of BC will go bankrupt.

  • What would happen if people got together in Seattle and built a giant unmanned hot air balloon that depicts the rip off money waste of the Olympics with Harper's face on it, and fill the basket with candy like a giant pinata and send it over the line into the Olympics and just sit back and watch NATO and F16 fighter jets shoot it out the sky while all the poor and homeless people get rained on by a tonne of jelly beans and tic tacs. Hey I can dream cant I?

  • one big waste of money....i am glad tokyo lost the bid

  • In a Country of 30+ million people, and they're estimating a total of 1000 protesters. Heck, pot rallies here gather plenty more people.

    Just the other day the Olympic torch went to a relatively small suburb in Surrey, and there was over 10,000 people to cheer it on.

    Just watch all the Anti-Olympic videos and you'll start to recognize the same faces over and over.

  • After watching this video I am actually looking forward to the games now... going to be unpredictable and lots of big angry hearts spotlighting the injustice and criminal behavior of our government and the police state that is taking over our country. Ah, back to surfing the astral planes. all will be well.

  • Who the Hell has time to watch this shit (Olympics) anyways? I don't.

  • NO, she is mine!

  • thank you sweet heart! I'm glad you waited until now to mention the Olympics, and how shady its looking for us here

    Take care!!

    check out my blog on the possible false flag planned for the olympics: myspace . com / ravenise

  • anti Free speech zones

  • These interviews with people in their homes (and fridge art in the background) are a really nice way to contrast the phony "studio" interviews that go on in msm, where they use visual props to give their guests a false sense of expertise.

    This was a particularly good guest, imo, and keep up the good, alternative work.

  • They keep these ridiculous games going because if they stopped it would be yet another nail in the coffin of western civlization

  • LANGLEY BC WHAT

  • The homeless count in Vancouver and Vancouver island have both exploded in the last few years as less American tourist visit us due to their economic hard times.

    Most people I speak to are very upset that the prov. and the city would dare spend so much money on Olympics when it's clear to everyone that we have a homelessness problem along with major drug addiction and rampant police corruption and abuse. "THEY" think we don't see what's going on but we all do.

    come see our homelessness problems

  • Being from BC,let me give you the real info:

    The Olympics are being held on unceded indigenous territory!

    Google that " unceded "

    And read what Wiki says about my dear Gov and how it keeps ripping off the Natives.

    The Olympics are costing BC taxpayers $ 6 BILLION thus far at a time when BC has suffered MAJOR job lay-offs since Sept'08.

    Social services and Child protect services have both along with Mental services and a few other ministries have suffered deep cut backs due the Games.

    We are mad

  • regardless of what side you are on, the first big story of the vancouver olympics is how big or small the protests will be... american tea bags vs canadian coffee filters.

  • Comment removed

  • spell check ( Olympics)  lol

  • @TheVMFA333 oops!

    Boycott the olympics!

  • you're in the tea party group...

  • @TheVMFA333

    Dont make me get all earl grey on your ass!

  • long 7 years for you

  • @TheVMFA333

    7 years? Maybe you dont understand how U.S. politics work? BOTH major political parties are controlled by the same people, have for decades. The criminal network operates under various front groups. The major one in U.S. gov't is called the council on foreign relations. Every democrat and republican with any real power is a member. It doesnt matter who you vote for, if its dem or rep the same agenda moves forward. They are building the world police state called new world order.

  • right over your head "palin"

  • Shill so called reporters such as this guy only receive attention by reporting negative.. most people in Vancouver are pumped about the olympics.

  • no they arent

  • Vast majority of people I've spoken to are either indifferent or against it,

    hardly any actually support it.

  • really?

  • That's some sensational reporting.

    The group calling for protests is the Olympics Resistance Network, which is a loose collection of anti-capitalists. They do not represent the views of the majority, and thus far protests have been very small in size.

    The Downtown Eastside is a real problem, and I hope that particular story is told. It's our great shame, but you could argue the Olympics have finally spurred some action after over 20+ years of neglect.

  • the location they are refering to in vancouver is East Hasting street.... most of the homeless there are crack/meth heads, or heroine addicts, where smoking and shooting up on the sidewalk is a common occurance

  • Nice cover up for the kid, Dina! ;)

  • Pick a number...

  • Don't forget about the hundreds of truckloads of snow that were necessary to build some of the venues... Paid for by the taxpayers of B.C....

  • feb 11

  • @jlya2012

    wtf? she speek perfect english, don't like don't listen

  • parking meters now operate till 10pm, up to 6$ per hour. bridge closures and road closures will grid lock the city.. the IOC is the worst thing about the olympics. give it back to the athletes and cities and screw the IOC.. this olympics is the going to cause real problems for vancouver for years to come.. not to mention the recession and lack of enthusiasm about spending money.. buses were brought in from LA and atlanta and not locally. what the hell gives?

  • @navtel

    agree to all of what u say :)

    -they forgot to mention that 65% of the BC population does not live in Vancouver

    -20,000 security police + 5000 Armed Forces

    -gas prices jumped 10 cents/litre out here due to a Provincial tax hike

    -no money for Ambulance, Doctors, Nurses in the interior of BC

    -the recent number is 7 Billion $ & counting.

  • Go to my channel and view my report "Red Alert" it pertains to the Olympics and a possible false flag terror attack

  • I lived in Vancouver for 7 years and I left 2 months ago and looking at this it mkaes me happy im not there.

  • Canada finally paid off debts from the Montreal Olympics (1976) by 2006. It took 30 freaking yrs to pay off the debt. I'm just reminding ppl of this. Fuck the Olympics. Give ppl tax cuts instead.

  • I remember the people in Vancouver cheering when Toronto lost out hosting the 2008 summer games. Sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for.

  • Boycott these Olympics
