Oh Canada! As sung by some Policefolk at The Governor-General's reception at City Hall.

Listen to Oh Canada! (.mp3)

Governor-General Michaelle Jean and Mayor Sam Sullivan

Canada's Governor General Michaëlle Jean (a Haitian refuge who immigrated to Quebec as a child) and Mayor Sam Sullivan (suddenly, the world's second most famous quadrapelegic) were on hand with a phalanx of officers of everykind to reveal the 1952 Oslo Winter Olympic flag.

I attended and watched the pagaentry (recording some clips for a future podcast) and asked VANOC CEO John Furlong a few questions on a snowy Vancouver morning.  See more pics on my Flickr photostream.
