O Canadia

It's Saturday! And I'm spending the day writing my research paper! Woooooo!

The Olympics opened last night! I'm a huge fan of the Olympics. It's always fun to watch the winter ones while curled up with a cup of hot cocoa. And the results are always so surprising. I mean, I never can guess who will win the most medals (that was sarcasm).

What I love about the Olympics is the sense of internationalism. It's the one time we ever hear about African countries (who cares about starvation when you have national sports competitions!) and various tiny countries no one cares about such as Andorra, France or Britain. But most importantly, it gives the opportunity for one of the most secretive countries to validate its existence.

Olympics are the
One chance Canada gets to
Prove its existence


Really. We never hear about Canada. Why? Because no one cares about them! They're a peace-loving, French-speaking country, which we simply can't associate ourselves with. It's like having the Flanders right next door in "The Simpsons." But finally, when The Olympics come round, Canada finally gets to take advantage of the fact that it is always under 3 feet of snow. Of course, we're still going to own them.
