Dayumn.

They had all the posters up all over the place when I visited in Easter. WTG.

Really wish I could go back now, get to see the Olympics and Canucks, but no chance of that for quite a few years. Damn the Atlantic.

I'm from TO and we're happy that our Vancouver cousins got the Olympics, but also sad that TO won't be getting the Summer Olympics anytime soon.

Still, this is a great day for Canada! And one day after Canada Day! WOOT! :D :D :D

I'm glad Toronto won't be getting the Olympics soon, it's bad enough down here. I could just imagine what a mess it would be. I really hope they give up on try to get them, at leat until say after 2030.

No NYC olympics in 2012 then, but maybe Chicago can make a run for it in 2016/2020...
Maybe I'll go ski Canada around then, congrats.

They should have a big monolith there so we can celebrate.

NYC = Summer Olympics. Vancouver = Winter Olympics.

I still don't think NYC should host the Olympics...there just isn't enough room for it.
