today was the opening of the canada line. it might of taken almost 3 years to build and lot of people and buisness faced crazy hardships but i think that it was a step in the right direction. if you go to other major cities around the world, they have something similar to this. the biggest thing is that it connects downtown to the airport with a direct route finally. having just come back from europe, i cant tell you how helpful it was being able to train in charles de gualle airport into paris or take the train out to the airport in rome. it makes a hell of a difference! now vancovuers time has come. i hope to jump on an take a whirl sometime soon! see what its really like!

on another note. i mentioned earlier that canada was to unveil a new hockey jersey for the olympics. well they have finally done so and it was exactly the same one that was shown in the leaked photos. kudos to the designers and i think that it looks great. they will be only using them for this olympics, so if you like the way that it looks go out and get one. part proceeds also go to salish childrens sports, so it has some of that good feel to it (but know that some money goes to vanoc and hockey canada too!).
