It's kinda funny if you do the math. It was said earlier that Canada's combined Olympic funding is $40 million. Based on the fact that winter Olympics get more funding let's say the summer athletes get $15 million of that. With a population of 33 million and let's say 75% of that are paying taxes (~25 million). So essentially of that $15 million of funding each of us is providing a whopping 60 cents.
That's surely enough to expect dominance, right?
