The Bigger Story of the Olympics

Isn't the biggest story on the opening day of the Winter Olympics the glaring absence of winter conditions?

That there is a scramble to assemble snow in some places, that there are continuing blasts of fog and that the temperatures are temperate, is sobering.

In the most beautiful place on earth, British Columbia, the lack of winter so far, for this showcase of their province must be bitterly ironic.

But we are Canadians. We adjust. We do it politely, stoically, gracefully.
