I am currently staying in the cheapest shelter I could find. With this membership card I have I pay $20 a night to stay here, in this hostel. I move into my place shortly. There is currently a woman staying here who is training to compete for Canada on our Olympic bobsled team in the next winter Olympics. She is profoundly alpha, cut, and walks in with her helmet under her arm every day as she starts to disrobe her training attire while preparing her very carb dinner each evening. This is a woman who is striving to reperesent this great nation in the next Olympics and she is forced to stay in the cheapest housing in Whistler with strangers from all over the world as she trains. It's criminal.
Canada gave huge amounts of financial, taxpayer, aid to China. China mops the floor with us in international competition and has men space walking. Yet successive Quebec based federal regimes in Canada gave them millions of tax dollars. To kick our ass. Meanwhile the most intense female athlete I have ever met is training in near squalor to represent Canada in the next Olympics.
