  What the hell are those Torino mascots supposed to be?

  I really like the Van mascots, even if they are obviously Japanese-influenced. As much as I'd have loved the branding to have a strong Haida influence, that's probably expecting too much in this day and age of cultural sensitivity and conflicts with First Nations groups...

  All the bitching about 'Canadian identity' on the CBC forum is quite sad. It means the only thing those people would accept are Mounties and beavers. That's not the sign of identity, that's stagnation. Canada isn't white/European/1950s anymore.
