Well the Olympics have come to a close and as many would agree they have been a great showcase for Canada and Vancouver.

And surprisingly the ‘Own the Podium’ Program that was introduced in Canada seems to have paid off as we have set a new Olympic record for most gold medals in an Olympics and most gold medals by a host country as you can see from the table below. Although we don’t have the most medals overall but we do have the most Golds, and as most Canadians would agree we got the all important Gold in men’s and and women’s hockey, in an especially dramatic fashion for the Men in overtime against the USA on Sunday.

While watching the Olympics these last couple of weeks I have had to watch commercials as opposed to my usual commercial free experience with Boxee on the appleTV.

As a result I found a few that caught my attention as being unique and had a Canadian theme to them.

Here are a few of them. Let me know what your thoughts are? The first one you have to open in you tube they don’t allow embedding it here.
