peipunk Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Where's your Olympic spirit? The Canadian police want to knowCivil libertarians are outraged over authorities' questioning of critics of the Games. 'If this had been China, that would be one thing. But this is Canada,' says a professor who got the shoulder tap.So if I am getting this right, people are angry that people are angry that people are angry about the Games?
