So, what do you think? I just watched a feature on CTV news about the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. Evident by the video footage across Canada, whether in bars or parading the streets, Canadian citizens are truly proud of their nation. It is a beautiful thing. In my experience, I have never seen Canadians more patriotic than during these past two weeks as hosts of the winter Olympic Games. I recently did a case study about the effect of the Olympic Games on a host nation. In 1992, Barcelona established itself as an up-and-coming city. In 2000, Sydney enjoyed 'the most comprehensive business development program ever held in association with the Olympic Games.' How about 2010?
What will be the legacy of the Olympic Games hosted by Vancouver?
I believe that the intangible impact of Canadians truly embracing their identity as a cultural mosaic while allowing the Olympic Games to invigorate a newly found patriotism is already a wonderful victory in itself.
