But, the motto: ‘One world, one way’, gives me the creeps.  Um… what about diversity, or celebrations of the broad spectrum of the human experience? Being Canadian means I am steeped in a culture that values multi-culturalism and tolerance.

‘One World, One Way’ just sounds too Orwellian to me…. smacks a little of totalitarianism, doesn’t it?)

Anyhow…. like I said before, there’s lots of chat about the Olympics on  b5 media -
