Is there an official album release? I had a look on iTunes and all I see is the one official single track.

Every Olympics, summer or winter, needs a good controversy. Hey, it gives us something to chat about here on the forum. Good to see Canada provided this time. I have this theory that Canada is built on corruption, covered up and sugar coated in a "I'm sorry, eh." attitude that the world sees us in. I'm actually glad it's starting to shine thru.

Has Team Canada convinced the IOC yet to add a drone piloting competition to the LA '28 games?

Thanks to covid a few years ago, I got back into retro gaming and have been collecting the various official Olympic video games. So how come there is no Paris 2024 game? Not even a Mario & Sonic at the Paris 2024 Olympics?

They should've just used Notre Dame's new spire as a cauldron!

CBC replayed it twice, but they chopped stuff out during the replays. They cutoff Lady Gaga's performance right when she sat down at the piano. And where were the Minions? I did not see them on the live broadcast or the replays? At what point did they show up?

Both political, and environmental. Just pretty much the overall climate of things these days.

Major lost opportunity: They should have had Deadpool and Wolverine dancing beside Celine Dion on the Eiffel Tower.

Same with Calgary 2026. Calgary is a very different place now than 1988. When I moved here in 2011 I think I caught the last 2 good years, and then things went down hill. No way we could pull off another Winter Games in today's climate.

CBC cut away from that. Is that Papa Smurf?

Parade of Nations was disjointed, too logistically challenging. The finale was alright. When the use of the river was announced, they should've have done something of a combination of Disneyland's Fantasmic show combined with Athens' 2004 history parade.

If drone shows were an Olympic competition, we'd win!

Well, we're getting the new arena/events centre. It was revealed last Monday and ground has been broken. Supposed to be complete by 2026. Also, the BMO Centre expansion across the street is now complete. Had a chance to check it out during the Stampede two weeks ago. Now the largest convention centre in western Canada. The new arena is being built on the two Stampede parking lots on the north side of the Saddledome. After it's complete the Saddledome will be getting demolished, a Calgary 88 Winter Olympics venue will be history. In hindsight, its ok that we did not go for the winter games. It does feel like things have gone downhill here in Calgary. More crime. more homelessness. A lot of people don't realize that we aren't the biggest city in North America for population, be we are the biggest for area. The City keeps annexing more land and is building outward in all directions, which is causing issues.

I guess you didn't see the news? The show would include one drone, with a really strong camera.

By then there will be no snow, and all downhill skiing events will be converted to water skiing, and held in Puerto Rico.
