As I watch the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Olympics, I am proud to be Canadian. Not because of the hype around Canada’s super athletes or the theme “Believe” that has been running through the media ads to try to build a spirit of confidence among Canadians. Nor does my pride come from the pomp and extravagance that are displayed in these ceremonies, although the welcome ceremonies of the four nations of the First Nations were impressive and gracious. I am proud to belong to a nation of the world that still believes in welcoming people from all nations irregardless of political ideologies. I would hope our pride would not be in flaunting our own success but in giving our competitors our energetic support. Believe because each competitor from whatever nation has the support of the world.
