haha - no. i honestly think that the Canadian Olympic program should always judge itself against Australia, a country of about the same population and wealth as Canada.

and yes I know that Canada does much better at the Winter Olympics because we're a cold weather country BUT ........... we also have lots of warm weather months plus lots of indoor training facilities and money. At one time Canada had a world class swimming program and won lots of medals in the pool, same with diving, and we had a good track program made up of mostly Jamaican Canadians - we *could* do a lot better at the Summer Olympics if the bureaucrats who run things did a better job and if we spent some more money.
