I'd tick the CBC box six or seven times. Anyhow.... I was wondering. If I go to Walmart and buy myself a PS3 and I know that Walmart gives to the US Olympic team... is money from my PS3 going to American athletes? There are a handful of Canadian companies doing their part - the ones with all the commercials - but there is no way that Canadian companies would be able to muster $80 million in funding for olympic athletes. And the other thing I was reading was that in the U.S. there is a *LOT* - and I mean a *LOT* of community fund-raising done for their Olympic hopefuls. Bake sales. Bottle drives. I dunno. Seems like a lot of effort. I'd rather chip in $2.
