Enough about China!

Listen up, people.
I am sick of opening up the Globe and Mail every damn day and seeing about some new piece of superficial fakery China pulled in an effort to present a seamless image during the Olympics.
YES, China has done some bad shit. YES, forcing homeless people and ethnic minorities away from the capital, among other things, was typical heavy-handed freaking out. But seriously. This is getting excessive. Do you think we're going to be so happy when the Olympics are in Vancouver and everyone's pulling these stunts with us? VANOC is already feeling the pinch with the recent landslide on the Sea-to-Sky. So let's all shut up, before that nation-sized magnifying glass shifts its gaze to us.

I agree. I'm looking forward to getting my olympics-free newspaper come next week.

Because the Olympics will be over or because Montreal doesn't give a damn about the Olympics?
