Canada	What do you think about opening up the Torch Relay to bearers from other countries?	When the winter Olympics were in Lake Placid and Atlanta did they offer Canadians the chance to run with the Olympic Torch? I may be wrong but I don't think they did. Canada won the Olympic bid and it's their party and show so I think it should be strictly Canadian runners. Those are 20 running spots I'm sure some Canadian kid would love to have.

Canada	My Montreal Experience	So sorry for your problems hisgirl! I was worried you were going to come back and say you have an extensive criminal history, because that certainly is grounds for a visa denial. So, the goods is that there really is no law explicitly stating that someone in prison can't file a visa petition on behalf of his/her spouse, and its not something you'll need to file a waiver for and wait on. I know it must be hard but try to keep your chin up! There is still a good chance your visa will be approved. For the record, I know a girl that has been waiting 8 years for her fiance to get out of jail so they can begin their lives together. The heart wants what it wants. People make mistakes but life goes on and everyone deserves a chance to be with the one they love I wish you luck! She doesn't have an extensive criminal history. I have never been denied at the border, nor has my husband. I have never been arrested, do not have a criminal record, do not take drugs and am in perfect health. The lady who interviewed me was very vague about why she thought that if she gave me the visa it would be denied at the border. She just wouldn't tell me and she was not answering any of my questions! Okay let me tell you why I think we are running into these problems....my husband has quite a criminal history. He is in prison right now and will not be released for another 2 years. Since the initial petition, we made it very clear that	Allie	Not Telling	Canada	2010-01-22 02:28:00

Canada	News story	Just read this thought I'd post it here on VJ Canada NATIONAL NEWS Last updated at 2:06 PM on 01/02/10 RCMP investigate hundreds of allegedly fraudulent immigration applications The Cape Breton Post THE CANADIAN PRESS RCMP investigate hundreds of allegedly fraudulent immigration applications The Globe and Mail reports the case centres around an address west of Toronto where large numbers of immigration applicants claimed to reside. The address is located in a Mississauga building owned by House of Palestine Inc. Feras Saleh, executive director of Palestine House which occupies the main floor, says the building is a commercial property and that no individuals actually live there. He says the tenant in question has moved out and that the RCMP first came around asking questions about two years ago. It’s not clear how many immigration applicants who claimed the building as an address gained entry into Canada.	Allie	Not Telling	Canada	2010-02-01 16:15:00
Canada	How close/far away are/were you from your American/Canadian significant other?	Welllll...I'd love to think that I've got it, but I'm also aware that anything can happen in an interview. I'm certainly not treating it as a formality! Who knows? The consular officer may not like me! I'll be bringing reams of bonafide information, since it looks like my wife isn't going to be there with me...but one never knows until one's across the POE... Wow...did you ever actually drive it?

Canada	Olympic Tragedy	Well sure...but no doubt it was human error -- not anticipating the turn, or shifting his body the wrong way at the wrong time. The sport is inherently very dangerous, and there have been fatalities at previous Olympics with much slower tracks. It's a slippery slope (sorry...couldn't resist) when you start to put limitations on things like this. What's next...putting little weights on ski-jumpers' ankles so that they don't accidentally overshoot the safe landing areas? Making sure all hockey players use wooden sticks to avoid injuring other players with too fast of a slapshot? We should take pride in the fact that this is the fastest luge track in the world. As with ALL things, it should be up to the discretion of the individual participants as to whether or not they want to compete on such a fast track. Not necessarily human error. If the track is to fast to control ones speed then it's the track that takes control and not the driver. I agree with you on your point that human error does cause accidents, but in this case I fully believe it was the track which caused the accident. Many have already stated safety concerns prior to this accident The danger of the Whistler track has been talked about for months - particularly after several countries, including the U.S., were upset over access restrictions for everyone but Canada, with some noting it could lead to a safety issue Five-time Olympian Mark Grimmette, chosen as the U.S. team's flag bearer, said the speeds on the track are pushing the boundaries of safety. I fail to agree with your view on limitation being implemented on things. Safe limitations are put in place to protect participants and those watching. In reference to the hockey players stick there is a limit to the amount of curvature in a stick. Why, because of safety concerns in how a puck comes of such a stick, much like a doctored baseball would do, dipping and fluttering more than the norm. Also over curvature can generate more speed on slap shots and wrist shots. There is no need to overlook safety when life is involved	Allie	Not Telling	Canada	2010-02-12 18:25:00
Canada	Olympic Tragedy	With all the accidents on this luge track maybe this course design is unsafe. WHISTLER, B.C. — Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili has died after a horrific crash in an Olympic training run, according to the Vancouver Sun. He was coming around the final 270-degree turn, where speeds approach 140 km/h, when he flipped off his sled and was hurled into a metal pole. He appeared to hit his head. Medics administered CPR to the 21-year-old from Borjomi, Georgia, before he was lifted into an ambulance. An air-rescue helicopter arrived some eight minutes after the crash. Training was halted for the day. Kumaritashvili competed in five World Cup races this season, finishing 44th in the world standings. The $105-million sliding centre, on the southeast face of Blackcomb Mountain, has been billed as a wild ride and the accident happened at its fastest point. The 1,450-metre course has 16 turns and drops steeply for 152 metres, the longest drop of any track in the world. The average grade is about 11 per cent, including two stomach-inverting drops of 20 per cent. It was the second crash of the day on the course after defending Olympic champion Armin Zoeggeler of Italy lost control on the lower part of the track. He didn't appear to be injured. On Thursday, Romanian women's slider Violeta Stramaturaru crashed and had to be airlifted out. More than a dozen athletes have crashed during Olympic training CP/ 12/02/2010	Allie	Not Telling	Canada	2010-02-12 16:03:00
Canada	Who's going to light the Olympic tourch?	I agree with Flames. Family members of Terry Fox should light the Olympic Torch. Olympic participants are dedicated to their cause with a give all, fight to the end attitude which was exactly what Terry Fox believed in and to this day his cause is still being fought.

Canada	In these Olympics, Canadians only paid attention to Canada.	Exactly. If people want to think Canada's pride was arrogance, then that's their problem. I think Canada did a great job... they had 16 days to show the world who they were and they did it. I do recall the Salt Lake City Olympics having a lot of "American pride" involved too. It's like inviting the world into your home, you want to be a great host, but you want them to leave remembering who you are. And your hockey argument... let's not go there again. I agree Canada did do a superb job hosting these Olympics. The writer of this article may not like what he heard or saw but this is one persons view only. Most of the reports I've read about the games were all positive. I can tell you I sure as h$ll loved what I saw. He complains about tickets made available in Van. to when the games were in Behjing, but he fails to report you could go wherever you wanted in Vancouver or for that matter anywhere in Canada. Are Canadians not allowed to show their patriotism? In my opinion I think the writer was too use to reading and hearing about how passive we Canadians are and wasn't prepared for all the Canadian patriotism. He's more than likely only use to seeing it in his own country as is ther original poster	Allie	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-03 15:08:00

Canada	My Apologies	Paul and Vanessa Posted Today, 01:39 AM Allie can talk about bridges all she wants, I wasn't the one burning them. I wasn't just talking about burning bridges. I was trying to give you some sound advice on where your making of bad relations here in the Canadian Forum is leading you. and what the consequences of those soured relations are going to be. Below is my posting in which I try to advise you but it appears you still neglect to get it. I cannot speak for others here, but with all the anti- Canada sentiment you have presented in this Canadian Forum I can tell you, I for one will not be jumping to the keyboard to answer any inquiries you present. You have burned your bridge to that advice Yesterday, 05:17 PM Post #57 This is my last posting on this topic: You're here in the Canadian Forum what I think making bad relations.

Canada	My Apologies	Your argument fails the moment you try and say I have an anti-Canadian attitude. It's not the case at all. Go Re-Read the intro. He's talking about the similarities in the games and nothing more. He's not calling Canadians Nazis.... Here's the intro: -- After a spirited torch relay ignited pride in every corner of the country, the Olympic Games began and quickly galvanized the nation. Flags were everywhere. The country's national symbol hung from windows and was worn on nearly everyone's clothing. Fervent crowds cheered every victory by the host nation. But enough about the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He's introducing the scene at the 1936 Olympics. Thus the closing line " But enough about the 1936 Berlin Olypics" Then he goes on to compare the Vancouver Olypics as being on the same stage as those of Berlin in 1936. My opinion, Yes you have a huge Anti- Canada attitude.	Allie	Not Telling	Canada	2010-03-03 21:26:00
Canada	My Apologies	The writer is not referring he is comparing. In his very first paragraph he sets the stage for comparing the hype of the 1936 Berlin Games to those of Vancouver and Canadian's Patriotism at the games. Are you so blinded by your anti Canadian attitude that you can not grasp that he's comparing all the Canadian Patriotism over the Vancouver Games on equal level to those of Nazi Germany in 1936.
