Being slightly () older than Crikit I have a much better recollection of the Calgary Olympics and all of it was good. In 1988 there was an extremely divisive nurses strike in Alberta during the two weeks immediately preceding the Olympics. Having the Olypmics not only forced the government to settle the strike, but it also helped bring the community back together in a way that nothing else could have.

Does any one else remember the joy and spirit of the Jamacian bob sled team ? If you want to understand what the Olypmics is all about watch a movie with John Candy about the bob sled team (Cool Runnings) was created by Disney.
