I like the mix of English and French in the Canadian anthem at the ceremonies

people should do that more with ours, of course with English and Spanish.

11. I was recently told by an American customer service rep...

...that the correct name for "English" is actually "the American language."

I'm Canadian, and he knew that, and I was trying to get their supposedly multi-lingual software to work in English. (It worked just fine in French, go figure.)

2. I have shivers up my spine I'm so proud of how multicultural the ceremonies are.

Of course I'm a Canadian.

3. The NHL does both the Canadien and American anthems.

I love the Canadien one. It's pretty catchy. :)

10. Thanks!

Shoot, I really thought it was live here! A friend has a daughter in the Opening Ceremonies and I'm afraid I'll miss it!

Thanks again for the link!

5. Very good stuff. I hope it's not moved by the mods to Sports.

The Olympic Games transcend sports, and I hope we can discuss them in GD.

6. I love when the Blue Jays come to town

And they play the Canadian anthem. I find myself singing to it. The American anthem - well, it doesn't do it for me.

[TheMadMonk]

12. Oh, anthem. Was thinking ¿Que? Olympics always anonuce in French, English, and...

...the official language of the host nation.

[RB TexLa]

13. I was talking about O Canada being sung going back and forth

but yes the Olympics have French and English as it's official languages.
