I need a place to vent this.

I cannot stand the new Olympic add campaign on TSN/Sportsnet. This whole "We've never won a gold medal on Canadian soil" There is no other country in the world that would cut itself down in a lame attempt to try and pump everyone up. Am I supposed to feel sorry for Canada? Because quite frankly I'm embarrassed. Why do we have to portray ourselves as the pathetic losers who only now have a shot at some success. Where's our pride? our dignity? We are burning our flag in one hand and waving it with the other, makes me sick.
