VANOC is trying to trademark 2 lines from the Canadian National Anthem. If the government allows this they are complete morons, that anthem belongs to all Canadians and shouldn't be cornered because of VANOC and hosting the Olympic Games.

WTF? Well if they are trying to use "with glowing hearts" as the slogan of the 2010 Games, they really lack originality since they are lifting it directly from O Canada.

Even before this, VANOC has really gone overboard on the whole copyright thing.....
