I'm so happy that Vancouver got them. I was hoping so much for Toronto last time, but that failed miserably.

Great news for all the Canadians. I've been waiting for a while to have the Olympic Games in Canada. Back in 1988 , when Calgary was hosting the Olympics, I was only 5, so I don't remember much of it. But in 2010, I'll be 27 and I will go to Vancouver to support all the Canadians athletes and I can't wait to see Canadian Hockey Team wins gold. GO CANADA GO!!!

good point... it's not like Canada's economy is bringing in any money.

Well for two weeks your country has the spotlight. It's not something that happens often for most countries.

I think the thing is that the USA has been getting olympics almost routinely for the past 20 years so it's no big deal to Americans. In a sense they've been spoiled.
I think for the majority of Canadians this announcement is exciting and it's something that can leave a type of legacy, just as Calgary did in 88.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

the only good thing about this, as far as i'm concerned, is that i might actually get to go to some of the games.

other then that, who cares? for all we know by 2010 we may be living on planet USA anyways.
