Olympic Resistance Network

Olympic Resistance Network is a Vancouver based organisation with the sole purpose of trying to disrupt the Vancouver Winter Olympics. They want to bring the homelessness problem to the media and force the government to solve the problem. They also believe that the winter games are held for profit and greed.

The Olympic is almost over and Vancouver had been in the party mood for the last two weeks. Downtown Vancouver has been filled with celebrations of all athletes. It is great to see a game that unified people for the purpose of having fun. The big corporations are putting in money so that people can have something to do. Their action puts lots of people to work and lots of money back in the economy.

Other than sports, Vancouver and BC officials also hosted many investors from around the world because they want to look at the investment opportunity. By building bridges, roads and public transit, it will impress them. They know that Vancouver is not a backward country but a world class city. It will attract more people and will grow the region as a whole. It will benefit the local cities, the province and the country as a whole.

The olympic is almost over, and I wonder will those people take a job with the people that put money in the game.

I was very impressed by how Vancouver was portrayed during the Olympics. I really didn't know much about the city before the Olympics were covered. I certainly be far more likely to consider visiting now.
