[winterlunacy]

We're going to make it Happen Again, Canada! Check out Andy Kim Happen Again Olympic Tribute video on Youtube!

[EuphoricHeadphones]

@JOJOBANANAZ1 Every home country has that privilege, genius.

[nigahigafan614]

[brokenhalo4]

Who Knows by Avril Lavigne

[henkwillemtenklooste]

Also enoy life is inportant , One day the world will be as one. Remember love, peace and hope.

John Lennon

[no1zgrl4eva]

I love it!!!! SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heathey2]

The Winter Olympics are infinitely cooler than the Summer Olympics.

:D

[FearOfTheFlesh]

haha nice I like that :P

[heathey2]

lol well it's true :)

[govern0r]

I can't get excited about a global sporting event that excludes more than half of the people on earth. Tell me how less fortunate kids can practice the luge or ski jumping? This just about a bunch of rich kids that rely on daddy's dime or government handout to slide down an ice tube on their asses or ski really fast then shoot a gun! Whatever..

[jw0nevertheless]

well, take for example Simon Ammann - he wasn't a rich kid when he started doing ski jumping but he had a dream and look where it took him. O Johnny Weir who started skating on the cornfield behind his house in the pair of old skates because his family couldn't afford new ones....So it's not about the rich or the poor it's about how hard you work and how strong your will is

[govern0r]

Of course there will always be exceptions, but not many inner city kids get to hang out at Whistler practicing ridiculous luge sports on daddy's dime.

[revaholic]

Seal hunt protest is just the latest in a string of interest groups tying their cause to the Olympics for greater media attention.

SHAME

[canadianclassic08]

Seal Hunting is a stain on the integrity of Canada. It's not the hunting, it 's the disgusting inhumane, cruel and sick way these rubes kill seals.

[FearOfTheFlesh]

Okay, but can it wait till after the Olympics?

If you actually want people to care for a cause, the approach is not to boycott their favourite moments/events...that just gets you hate, and lack of support as in the case of PETA.

[canadianclassic08]

@FearOfTheFlesh

Are sports more important than suffering and slaughtering.

[FearOfTheFlesh]

@canadianclassic08

No, but you can still enjoy the Olympics.

There are always genocides and unfounded killings around the world, yet we still sit here and type on Youtube....enjoying the Olympics won't change "our" support in the least.

It's nice to help others, but you don't need to put the whole world's problems on your shoulders, especially when most if not all are completely out of your hands.

So I'd rather enjoy my life and help when I can within my comfortable means.

[CanadaSealKillers]

I am a proud Canadian! I hope all the tourists who come to the 2010 Olympic games all buy plenty of seal fur trinkets and clothing. I am proud to be a seal hunter, it is my heritage, my culture. And I am proud to be Canadian!

[SpikePhanta]

@CanadaSealKillers

Vancouver barely has any seal fur.....

Reason why is because asians don't car much for seal fur and vancouver is very hippy like.

dont forget greenpeace started in vancouver.

[DoinThupidThings]

I don't care where it started, Greenpeace will be looking for a stage on which to waste our time. Just garbage people with nothing better to do

[MrRyanGC]

labour laws in Beijing, seal clubbing in Vancouver, how about we stop using the olympic games to further political agendas?

Aren't the games meant to be a time where all nations come together, regardless of any wars and disputes between them?

[FearOfTheFlesh]

Yes. Unfortunately some just don't know what fun and enjoying life means...everything to them has to be a negative or an initiative, thinking they are making a difference.

The sad truth is that the best way you can help, would be to donate your time and money by going across the ocean to nations that can really use the support to build infrastructure, clean water and etc, like some nations in Africa, Middle East, and Asia...but instead they would rather be pretentious on YouTube.

[DoinThupidThings]

I can just see Greenpeace, the shmucks, trying to ruin our games because of seals and the environment issues. Is there a more useless organization on the planet?

Go Canada, this is our time and nothing can stop us from showing the world that we're number one in evey way

[SpikePhanta]

@DoinThupidThings

Funny thing is

1. Seal Fur isn't popular at all in vancouver

2. Greenpeace started in vancouver

[mooseontheriver]

Macdonald's is always hiring,,,,fuck the homeless

[asanrules]

soooooooooooooooooo damn excited for the olympics!!! cant wait for my city to show the world how to host a proper olympic games, and most of all cant wait for CANADA TO CLEAN HOUSE! LETS GO CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!.

[maddiejotilley]

yayyyyyyy im sooooo excited!

i cant wait til february!

so happy the olympics are happening on my home soil ;)

[bean1336]

Now, you are correct that the governments have failed on the issue. However, they have poured nearly $50 million into the downtown Eastside in an attempt to alleviate the homelessness, however, they have failed to solve the problem. The problem isn't that the money isn't going into these areas, the problem is that we haven't found an adequate solution to the homeless issue in Vancouver. When you come up with a solution, go to your local MP.

[MajNorberg]

bean1336: you FAILed to mentions where that $50 million went...specifically.

There are many models that have worked in countires like Denmark/Norway on homelessness....but it's more mental illness that plague the homeless...meaning less money is going to medicine/care.

[e2mwpg]

Good video, horrible song. 3 out of 5.

[hockeysmalife]

im from Australia where hockey isnt very big but i support canada cause im part canadian GO CANADA

[disneydance1169]

I really do believe that Canada deserves the games :)

And no I'm not Canadian I'm American

I was the there the day Vancouver/Whistler were chosen to host the games I guess when I was 8

You could tell the people really wanted it :)

I remember looking back up at my mom and asking my mom if we would go to them 7 years later

She said maybe there a long time away

Well guess where were going now to the Olympics!

It's going to be great to go back to Canada for the most special event ever!!!

[HeartCanucks]

Where in the US are you from? I'm from vancouver (Vancouver=awesome city)

So glad to see that so many people approve of the Games.

And for those haters out there, go complain somewhere where people actually disagree with me.

[asanrules]

i completely agree. every one of those damn "no games 2010" activists need to go hide in their respective holes for the next 4 months. if they try ANYTHING during the games, i hope no mercy is shown to them by our $1 billion security contingent. LETS GO CANADA

[XantinovaX]

anti 2010 activists??? What the hell, I haven't heard about that! That's bs! I can't frigging wait for the winter games, I agree with your comment about no mercy from the security and hiding in their holes.

[HeartCanucks]

NIce...although I think that they'd probably protest too that they have to dig holes to hide in and blame the government (though I think that the Liberal government should be blamed)

[bravoguy30]

No offense to America, but Canadians rock. They also have good tv shows.

[briannafreaco]

@bravoguy30 Haha i know!!

[bravoguy30]

i just started watching the Olympics last year. I found out.....THEY ROCK!! I love the Olympics;D!

I can't for Vancouver. BTW, send me your thoughts about the Olympics at bravoguy30!

[projecrunway]

the olympics next year are gonna be awesome i really want to go up there,only a national border and 3 states north and im there.shaun white gonna rock this year,i really want to see some skeleton,and bobsled,apollo anton ohno and some speed skating

[oil83ers]

Fuck all people who diss canada and the winter games im proud to be a canadian and cant wait to see canadians bring home the gold in vancover!!!!!!!!!!!

[DjIllusion001]

if it didnt happen in calgary or montreal then it should happen in vancover when canada wins the games.Ill always support this country

[2222sun]

Vancouver is full of gangs,criminal town

canadian = criminals

free quebec

boycott 2010

[NigellaDamascene]

I've lived in Vancouver all my life, and found it to be a great place. You're exaggerating to a ridiculous degree when you say that we in habitants are nothing more than a collective group of gangsters and crimminals. Think before you post such thoughtless comments next time, 尔废话的王八旦!

Proud to be Canadian!

[jonzofon]

I want to be Canadian :(

[XB70Playboy]

Boycott the 2010 Canadian Olympics. Each year the Canadian fishing industry kills over a 1/4 million baby Harp Seals for their fur alone. 325,000 in 2007 and 275,000 in 2008. Just "youtube" "Harp Seal Slaughter" right here on Youtube and see exactly what's going on.

[tabarrachi]

boycott XB70Playboy

[joelsweet]

Seriously? the seal hunt is your ammunition for boycotting the games? Really? China had horrible human rights abuse issues, the US well .... so many issues I won't even start and you pick a fight about the seal hunt? Is that really all you could find? Guess we're doing pretty well.

If anyone deserves the game it's Canada. I'm proud to be Canadian.... well except the Avril Lavigne thing

[XB70Playboy]

The last time you got pulled over for speeding how useful was the argument. "Aren't there better things you could be doing with your time?" Argument. Doesn't make it any less of a crime. Do you gauge your level of goodness, on others' badness? It sounds to me like you're trying to justify your country's sins, by pointing to others. All your doing is creating a gray-scale of sin to which you can place yours near the bottom instead of addressing the issue. Funny Avril. Lavigne joke though.

[snuhtoyou]

I don't think that's what joelsweet was saying at all. His point, if I may, was that there needs to be a little consistency in terms of what warrants a boycott. If atrocious human rights abuses don't, then why should the seal hunt (which, incidentally, isn't for fur alone as you allege). Now, don't take that as an endorsement, I think it's a terrible practice too.

[snuhtoyou]

Who do you think is buying the fur? Maybe you oughta think about destroying the demand from Europe and the US, hmmm?

[HeartCanucks]

I'm Canadian, and I realize that the seal killing is a sad thing, and am COMPLETELY against it (screw the Harper government for making this an "international sport"). But how will boycotting the Olympics help? VANOC didn't cause the seal hunting: the federal government just allows it. So I recommend that you go up to the Parliament buildings and protest there, or at least demand to interact with your MP...you do know that they are have to fill out your request, right?

[SpikePhanta]

@HeartCanucks

Thank you.

Don't boycott the 2010 olympics for seal fur.

Seal fur is only popular in east canada.

[pacmancookie]

what song is this???

[robbiepy]

its who knows by avril lavigne, great song eh?

[pacmancookie]

this is weird

[projecrunway]

im supposed to go on a mission at the begining of 2010 but the olympics are too close(like 3 states and another country)but on the same coast. so i have to go lol

[dktaba]

This video makes me so homesick for vancouver. I wish i could move back. Out of all the other cities in the world I've been to and lived in, which is quite a few, none compare to the beauty and quality of life in vancouver.

[darkshogun]

If you look closely at 01:54mins, the kid is wearing a Montreal Canadiens jersey. What the heck, Vancouver is Canucks territory, should be showing a kid wearing Vancouver Canucks jersey.

[yhz30]

I'm guessing there are a few ignorant americans in this chat sequence..tsk tsk... not even going to dignify those words... Go Vancouver!

From Halifax - Canada's other bookend :)

[VianahNaman]

You will never have Olympic games here because of a massive Earthquake in 2008. Your greed, ignorance, intolerance and fear will come back to haunt you. Ta losers!! Go down with the ship.

[elisan693]

You know nothing about Vancouver.  I suggest you find another place to taunt, and It might be Iran. Leave Vancouver alone. Vancouver rules!!!

[VianahNaman]

Yes Vancouver certainly DOES rule with ignorance, greed, intolerance and fear. You can have the nasty little place; I am moving. Ta loser.

[Siliven]

Too bad. Vancouver is a great place. Better than Ontario and certainly much better place than anywhere else in the US. You are missing out.

[OvenToasted]

That's a commercial? It's long enough to be a "visit Canada" music video.

[syamloveleo]

it is a good video, but there is no option to download. if it is a downloadable it will be the best one

[mbcanadaguy]

cool i hope i see them
