I'd love to have it be Michael J Fox. Please not David Suzuki.

If its David Suzuki I'm boycotting there games.
He'd probably complain about the pollution from the flame...

Like Calgary 22 years ago, I bet there will be some passing around of the torch inside BC Place amongst celebrities/athletes, which I am guessing would include the likes of Gretzky, someone like Micheal J Fox...but the final bearer? Who knows.
They had the head of the Vanoc comittee in an article yesterday and he said only a few people know, and its just been set up the last 3 months...and that there's no way you guess how its going to be lit.

It's become pretty standard for the torch to get passed between multiple people while inside the stadium (I don't know if Calgary was the first to do that or not, I think LA did as well in 1984).
The final bearer is usually either a decorated local athlete or, as they did here, a "future Olympian" or someone who represents the ideals of the Games.
Maybe Joe Sakic? Local boy and former Olympic gold medalist in the host nation's favourite sport.

Betty Fox is my choice.
A hologram would be really tacky and weird IMO.

Really? I think it would be cool. We don't have much for world known canadian sport icons.
If it's not gretzky then Terry Fox would be really really cool.

Perhaps someone could light up our pal dj pat here and chuck him up into the cauldron to get it fired up..
How the heck do you have time to comment on what seems like every post let alone thread.

I put my money on (literally, in an office pool) Michael J Fox or Suzuki. But now I'm thinking it'll probably has to be an athlete of some sort.

Hologram Terry Fox leading to Betty Fox lighting it would be absolutely epic
Terry Fox wasn't an olympian but his spirit is exactly what the olympics are about, would be an amazing start to the games. And he is one of the greatest Canadians who doesn't get enough recognition world wide.
