A favourite Olympic moment: During the men's curling final, the cameras panned to the audience, pausing briefly on Stephen Harper chatting with the Canadian women's curling team, all proudly wearing their silver medals. Directly in front of them, seemingly oblivious to the game and the celebs, was a spectator, focused intently on her knitting.
How Canadian was that? And would a pair of knitting needles ever be permitted that close to Barack Obama or any other head of state?
