the Nazis were the ones who brought back the torch relay, are we just supposed to forget our past? or pretend like it didn't happen?

@quiksilverrules14 If you read the history of Canada ask the Jews of that time who were sent back to Germany by Canada and then talk about Canada's multiculteral makeup> There is nothing wrong with including that footage of the first relay even though it was in Germany, they started the tradidtion and should be recognized for it. I am the son of WW2 airman and grandson of a WW1 soldier.

I was a torchbearer and they showed this video on the shuttle bus before we ran with the torch. It was really inspirational and I loved it. Plus I love the song it's so beautiful and inspirational. I really like this video =)

Nothing wrong with Coldplay Polishaisdown. I wonder if London will produce a promotional video for their Olympics featuring inspiring music from
Canada.

@MrSchedules Hello there, this video is the only one around, I don't think you can download it anywhere. However, if you want, I could send you the original video file via email if you wish to send me your email address in a private message. But the quality of this video on YouTube is the best you're going to get. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

This was effectively the unofficial song and video for VANOC staff members. We watched this during our induction and it came up at different intervals.
I am such a pussy, I don't even try to hold the tears back anymore when I watch this video.
I have had the best, most amazing 12 months of my life working on the Olympics and this tune will always remain close to my heart and serve as a reminder of my time in Vancouver and with VANOC.

Great story! The whole point of this video was to start the water works without even really caring. The Olympics was something that brought all Canadians alike together. I have signed up as a volunteer at London 2012 'cause I've heard so much great stuff about Vancouver 2010 Volunteering. Thanks for watching!

That's bull that people were making a serious fuss over this video.
The first time I watched it, and nearly every time after, I get weepy cause it's SO powerful.
