February 15, 2010 A Proud Day for Canada!Filed under: ASI Canada While we don’t need new reasons to be proud Canadians, the Olympic Opening Ceremony I think has certainly opened the eyes of the world to our diverse culture and rich history. Opening the ceremonies with the traditional welcome pole of the 1st Nations was inspiring and showed the world our country’s respect to our founding people. The opening was beautiful visually I loved the section with the fiddlers and then when the whales were crossing the stadium – WOW! As Canada entered the stadium emotions overflowed from the stadium right across our great country and to our military serving overseas we all joined together as one, proudly showing the world what a great country Canada is. I loved listening to Donald Sutherland’s voice as he introduced each new section of the presentations – I have always enjoyed listening to his deep, penetrating voice and he was a great choice. I think one of the highlights for me was Shane Koyczan’s poem “We are More” it’s always been tough to define us as a country and his poem was great at pointing out our uniqueness as a country. We Canadians also have a great sense of humour and I’m sorry, but it was funny to look at the face of Steve Nash and the other athletes as they waited for the cauldrons to come up, I can just imagine what they were thinking – Steve Nash was the funniest though! Even with the little mistakes (Bryan & Nelly lip singing was pretty bad) we did a great job of introducing our great country to the world! GO CANADA GO! 0 CommentsLeave a Comment |
