[The31415927]

"...this torch we'll always carry for our Nations Golden child".

Did I do something stupid again? Is she going to stop singing any time soon?

Whatever...

[MsBellaroma]

@wajimya it is all about money and the film industry .... I believe that the olympics is total bs what we activists like to call "a party for the rich"

[MsBellaroma]

first off i like ur vid , ok whati have a problem with is mr arnold running the Olympic Torch Relay WTF IS THIS??????????????? do Americans let Canadians take part I think not TOTAL BULLSHIT sorry people

[wajimya]

I was surprised by that as well and I am an American. You have a valid point.

2 days ago, a student from my highschool in ontario carried the torch, congrattsss

[thebreadcake]

Awesome! This is so heart-warming, it's totally worth the lifetime of debt!

[AnnaPresman]

1:10 I couldn't tear my eyes from the scenery. Such beautiful colors, like a painting.

Congratz to Canada! I wish my country wasn't so depressingly tiny, so that we could have a chance to host something like that :P

[MyOrangeness]

PS torch bearer Michelle, Congrates! There is someone from my reserve to carry the torch also, from Nipissing.

I ment to add that in Canada we are treaty peoples, but we are not taught the treaty rights in public education, so the people of Canada are justifiably unaware of the true history of their country.

[MyOrangeness]

This is very interesting, but I have to point out, the native people who appear at 0:27

are being stereotyped. This is racism. Those men are being used as props, as "proof" that Mr. Harper apologized to the Anishnaabe people. Mr. Harper, if you felt actual remorse, you would abide by the treaties.

May I point out, WE ARE ALL TREATY PEOPLES.

The treaties do apply to you, wether you are white, asian, black, hispanic, or native.

[kingajinga]

@MyOrangeness if you knew anything about the point you would know they are not natives, that is considered a racist term in canada, they are first nations and they were as proud as any canadian to hold the olympics and more over are proud to wear there traditional garments to big events such as these, what would have been racist however is if they had not been aloud to wear them or not been aloud to participate in the event at all.
