I am drunk on patriotism and I hope there IS a hangover. Watching our 2010 Vancouver Olympics for the past 16 days, I have never been so impressed in my life, nor so loved this country of mine. We as a nation have never been given to overt displays of flag-waving or chest-beating (we are reserved, don't you know?). But then Canada got the Winter Olympics and Vancouver proceeded to put us on the map. Everyone did themselves so proud - athletes and organizers, volunteers and visitors, giving such a marvellous picture of us to the world. I thank you for waking us up to what we have and for your herculean efforts to 'bring home the gold', reinforcing our pride in being Canadian.
