Speaking of advertising; I am not sure if our non-Canadian friends have seen this commercial running during the airing of the 2010 Winter Olympics but I thought I would share it. I feel Tim Hortons hits a cord here and I think it touches home with many "new" Canadians. Like the United States of America we too are a melting pot for many ethnicities and backgrounds. What follows is the video I am speaking of and I am sure you will get the idea even without audio:

This is an experience shared and appreciated by many immigrants I am sure. Reunifcation with loved ones and an introduction to something clearly Canadian; Tim Hortons coffee. Post your comments and let me know what you think.

Well, I seem to have caught the Olympic fever. I do not know if it is my Canadian patriotism or the love for Olympic hockey that has done this to me. However, if you are unable to catch your favorite Olympic sport on television you can definitely check out CBC's online coverage. They have bulletins in Arabic, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish. They also have a link to CBC Radio Vancouver. Throw in a medal count statistic and live chat and you have got a winning website. For those of you South of the border you can check out NBC's stellar online coverage. They have videos, photos, links to tweets and blogs and visitors can even follow USA athletes from their home towns.

Since we have the Olympics going on it is only appropriate to add a poll and let our members weigh in on who will come out with the most gold medals in the end.
