<p>Well the Olympics have come to a close and as many would agree they have been a great showcase for Canada and Vancouver.</p>
<p>And surprisingly the &#8216;Own the Podium&#8217; 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&#8217;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&#8217;s and and women&#8217;s hockey, in an especially dramatic fashion for the Men in overtime against the USA on Sunday.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>As a result I found a few that caught my attention as being unique and had a Canadian theme to them.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t allow embedding it here.</p>
