    Great Video! Very imformative piece on why the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics should be abolished.
    It is still shocking to hear about the history and the current amount of outright fascism within the International Olympic Committee. The facts speak for themselves. A DEFINATE MUST WATCH!

    Now I understand why Amy Goodman of Democracy Now fame was detained at the Canadian border recently. I also would like to show it on our local cable access station in the Pacific Northwest. Keep it up!

    I am opposed to the Olympics, which to me is just an expensive industry at the expense of poor local people. It has little to do with sport any more.

    Great video...I will forward to my friends.

    The Olympics are not the cause to every problem that you encounter. Stolen Indian land is an argument for every fight natives get into. If it is truly "stolen" show the documentation proving it, because I'm sure the government has the paper work showing it's not anymore. You talk about increased rates of homeless people? wouldn't the extra jobs created by the preparations for the olympics hinder that? I think so. I think that only stating information which supports your argument when there is clear contradicting, factual evidence is just as bad as making it up. Oh yea I don't know if you have heard but North America is kinda in a economic crisis, but that would throw half of your arguments out the window so don't mention that, even though the economic growth caused by the Olympics would bounce the country back and enable other issues like global warming to be dealt with. My home town has been over run by you native activist people have been killed and because you play the race card nothing can be done. I have no respect for you or your people. Caledonia Ontario Google it with the realization of media censorship and the towards bias for your people.

    This is persuasive video for the ignorant. Thank god Canadians are educated enough not to believe any of these ridiculous claims and stupid causal conclusions, I say we lock these people up in a school some where and teach them economics. No wonder they are violent...they aren't smart enough to fight with words.

    WELL DONE!!! Don't let the haters stop your vision of a just world. This is a very heart felt & thoughtful film. I am glad I took the time to watch it. I feel the spirit of the olympics deserve to be preserved but not at the cost of the precious ecology, tribal rights & land.

    & all those folks who posted racist & mean statements are deeply troubled and swim in self-hatred ignore them!!!
