During the world cup and other international tournaments, every second car has another countries flag hanging out of the window or on display somehow, but during these olympics IN CANADA where we are actually one of the strongest countries I did not see one Canada flag on a car. Why?
 
I noticed that too.

Maybe people realize how much these "games" will actually cost them in taxes...
 
I think it wasn't personal enough, for this city anyways, for lots of people to go out celebrating.

I did see a few cars with flags.. Still a very proud moment for all canadians.

Let's face it, people enjoy waving their flag for 2 reasons,... 1, because we want to support our team, and another, because we love rubbing it in the faces of those who lost, when you're in an environment with many different cultures.

In this case, it wasn't as fun for most people to wave the Can. flag, cause we weren't rubbing it in anyone's face.
 
Because we know we are canadian.

If i was in the state listening to the game in a bar i would brag with a canadian flag until i got my ass kiked
 
On est dans notre pays... J'ai pas besoin de sortir mon drapeau du Canada, tous mes voisins sont canadien, mes amis sont canadien, tout le monde dans la rue son canadien, j'ai besoin de prouver à personne que je le suis et de déranger le peuple avec mon drapeau et mon klaxon.

Si je serais dans un autre pays ce serait autrement.

yes ok but you want to compare 1 single sport watched and celebrated by 1 billion peoples at least on the planet with an event like Olympic you also have the answer to your question

Olympic is like 20something sports with several events for many of them
that's kinda dilute the interest level

and I don't see how hundreds of , let say, koreans would go to a bar to watch the final in woman skating like us, canadians, are going to bars to watch our hockey games
let alone celebrating the victory in the street of the korean girl after that :D
 
Well it's always cool to show what country your supposedly 'from' when they've won something irrelevant to the country they are actually from or reside in / gives them a free life and services.
 
Y A PU DE PLACE Y A DEJA LES 2 DRAPEAUX (GAGNANTS) LOL......
CELUI DU QUEBEC ET CELUI DES CANADIENS DE MONTREAL.......*td* :D :p
 
parce que nous sommes des quebecois, pas canadiens
vive quebec vive 101!!




on a more serious note,
i agree with this guy.

Firstly, WC and the the winter games cannot be compared. The WC gives a chance to minorities within Canada to piss each other off.

Secondly, no flags here because were in Quebec, as simple as that. My cousins in Ontario and BC partied much harder and so did everyone around them. Were just not as patriotic as they are, well at least some people arent.

au Quebec notre facon de vivre le patriotisme se porte plus vers une adoration des individus que une celebration de la nation

attend de voir les foules a l'aeroport au retour des medailles en patinages de vitesses de skit et de Joannie Rochette

ca va etre l'adulation
