It looks like they've already started. I just read this on the Toronto Star:
Quote:
If Quebec were a separate country, it would currently stand fourth on the Sochi medal table, tied with U.S. and Russia.
The six medals they’ve won in only four days here would already qualify as the 9th best total medal haul in Canadian Winter Olympic history.
After he won his medal in the mountains, Bilodeau was baited on this topic (by a British journo, natch). Did he realize how well Quebec could do here on its own?
Right when the rest of us really needed him, Bilodeau didn’t flinch.
“We’re proud to be Quebecer, but we’re proud to be Canadian,” he said. “Yes, we do a lot of good things in Quebec, but there are great things all across Canada.”

I like Bilodeau. Someone brought it up in another thread but it's worth bringing up again. I think he should be the flag bearer in the closing ceremonies.
