Yet another story of people who have a problem with something Olympic related. I want to scream at you! First people are protesting at every leg of the torch's run, now people are complaining that the torch run organizers are trying to avoid the protestors! Wow, Liberals, Bloq, NDP. I am so proud that you are associated with this fine, free country of ours. The Olympics are supposed to be a time when the world can come together peacefully, a time of good sportsmanship. And here we are, fighting with each other over which constituencies the torch should pass through. If I'd been planning this whole event, I would have purposely put the entire torch run far away from known protestors. I can just see the rest of the world watching the torch run on their local news, the joy of the Olympics being diminished by placards and screams from protestors. How ashamed our hard-working athletes must feel. They've worked so hard to compete in these Olympics on their home turf, only to be embarrassed by their fellow Canadians. As Minister of Media and Public Relations, I'd love to enlist the help of the Minister of Adhesive Affairs and forcibly SYPHs.

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather see idiot protestors than see the joy and pride on the faces of those who run the torch. Who really wants to be a part of an honoured tradition anyway? Perhaps they should have started the torch run a year ago just to make sure they'd have the time to be blocked by protestors, steer clear of protestors and run the torch through every constituency in our country. Come on Canada - where's your pride????
