Olympics

Like everyone, I'm thrilled to see our athletes come away with the highest number of gold medals. But these newspapers seem a little too pleased.

Here's the Globe and Mail: After 17 remarkable days, Canada rediscovers itself as a proud, resilient nation. With 14 gold medals, we are now the nation to beat.

The Ottawa Citizen: Vancouver games inspired a nation.

The Vancouver Sun: 2010 Olympics: A Games that moved a nation

And finally, the headline of the National Post website: These truly were the Games that changed a nation.

Yes, we can all be happy for our athletes. Yes, we beat the Americans in hockey and we won a lot of races. But please, are 14 gold medals really enough to transform our nation? At the end of the day, these olympics were a great sports meet, but that's it. ...Thankfully, there's Quebec! Columnists in La Presse are angry that Quebec native Patrice Bergeron, of our Men's hockey team, didn't get more playing time.
