We can't even get the Olympics without a dose of 9/11, 9/11, 9/11...
As part of their Olympics coverage, NBC is currently re-running a documentary about the travelers stuck in Gander, Newfoundland, after The Day Everything Changed. Why? Well...because it's in Canada, that's why! Leave aside the fact that Gander is about as far away from Vancouver as you can get in North America, or that, in terms of distance, it would be like doing a story about Moscow during the Barcelona Olympics -- it's important that we Never Forget, right?

2. I found that touching
highlighting the friendship between Canada and the US. I guess I'm just a softy, each to their own. :shrug:
