Gloved hands. It’s harder to applaud; doesn’t make much sound.

It’s a Quebecois Belgian-style strong beer. One of my favorites and I had no clue that that legend depicted on its bottle would be (so terribly) reenacted in the opening train wreck.

Do Canadians not know how to applaud? Are the stomping their feet? What is that??

Looks like they gave everyone drums to beat. Part of the First-Nations-as-co-hosts theme, I'd guess.

Heh. The Governor General loks like she's dozing off.

"LOL!! This show needs some Don Cherry."

LOL! I remember him when he played for the Rochester Amerks. I was in highschool at the time, then ran across him on Canadian TV

I meant they’re not clapping b/c of gloved hands. Clapping w/ gloved hands is actually quite tiring if you’re trying to make any sort of noise.

I think they raise the Olympic flag and then light the torch and then that is the end. Should be getting close.
