The discussion pretty much ends at this point with 2 gold on home field. That's awesome. Everything else at this point is cake. Looking foward all we really need now is hockey gold and this will be considered a great showing for Canada.
The Canadian team has 1/10th the population of the US, and what? 1/3rd the medal count? In terms of raw demographics, that's pretty good too IMO.

Yes, we have 1/10th the population, which means each athlete should be funded 10x the amount that a US athlete does, if the countries put the same amount of money into their programs.
Unfortunately, besides hockey, Sport Canada could give a rats ass about winning in sports.
