These are my predictions for the Olympics for Vancouver 2010:

Canada will win 25 medals including the first Gold Medal won by a Canadian in Canada. (I won’t jinx you, bumps skier). Sadly, we won’t “own the podium.”

These are my predictions for the Olympics in Sochi in 2014:

Canada will win significantly fewer medals after major funding cuts to Olympic programs. Olympic athletes, who have been talking about this issue for four straight years, will be widely criticized by Canadians for “underperforming.” Canadian sports fans will blame the athletes themselves for not measuring up to world standards without understanding that the financial assistance and training programs have been severely slashed because the Canadian Olympic commitment only applies to home games.

Canada spends more money on prisoners than it does on Olympians.
