Johnny Weir tried being super flamboyant and no one really cared, then he shifted to adding the ukrainian braid but still no one is shocked.

Seems like most of the athletes winning medals are Quebecois. I suspect it's because their province is independent enough to invest in things other than oil sands.

Actually, it's because their social safety net is funded by the oil sands through equalization payments, so they can take 3 month long ski vacations instead of actually working for their money.

If you're gonna crack open a can of worms, don't pussyfoot about, just rip the top off and run.
