    Thank you, Vancouver.

    What a beautiful ceremony. What vision. I live in Virginia – and I wish our First Nations were so respected. The dance of the music – was incredible – the salmon, totem poles, great bear, those amazing fiddlers and dancers, the ballet – all in tribute to the beauty of youth. But who was that amazing poet? I want to hear him again. Thank you. Thank you.

    The opening ceremony was fantastic. Shane Koyczan (the slam poet) was a wonder to hear. All of the acts were very powerful, right down to the speech by John Furlong. It made me proud to be a Canadian!

    I was so proud of us last night. And so happy that we gave such precedence to our indigeneous peoples. About time — and so beautifully done. Yes, and the poets and the fiddlers and the singing — all of it was top notch. Well done Canada!
