Poet Shane Koyczan delivered an interesting speech at the 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Vancouver tonight. It is titled: "We Are More." I thought I'd share this with those who might have missed this CTV telecast - a surprising feast for the eyes and ears.

"When defining Canada you might list some statistics," starts out Koyczan, "you might

mention our tallest building

or biggest lake

you might shake a tree in the fall

and call a red leaf Canada

you might rattle off some celebrities

might mention Buffy Sainte-Marie

might even mention the fact that we've got a few

Barenaked Ladies"
