Unfortunately its the truth. Fucking douchebags. Thats just $7,000 more that won't go to their precious sustainable housing. Hardly a political statement when no one claims responsibility for it, just a pain in the ass. I fucking hate these people.

These silly hippies have nothing better to do, now that they're going ahead with the eagle ridge construction. If anything more awareness will be raised to solve a lot of these drug/homelessness problems leading into the games because I'm sure Vancouver doesn't want to be portrayed as a "problem" city.

I used to care about the homeless, but now, they can all go die in the cold.

There's nothing I hate more than a so called "activist" that doesn't bother doing anything useful, and would rather just go around causing shit.

Guess what, idiots: LIKE 'EM OR NOT, THE OLYMPICS ARE COMING. Might as well find a way to work with it.

Oh hey I know! Let's kill two birds with one stone and solve the homelessness problem and organ donor crisis at the same time... har har har.

Ok, maybe not. That's kind of sick.

Not really man...If it went from Turin to Vancouver, then it was for the Winter Olympics, or else it would have come from Athens. Thus, the first Olympic Games which this flag would have been for would have been the first Winter Olympics, which were in 1924 in Chamonix, though they weren't designated as Winter Olympics until 1926 by the IOC (International Olympic Committee).

But I still dont see the significance of a flag...

1886 in Athens, I think the first winter Olympics were in 1936. Off the top of my head



After 20 seconds of google research......summer 1896, winter 1924.
