Who should light the Olympic Cauldron?

Post by Rockie »

They have all had their turn already, but in my mind it's a toss up between Terry Fox represented by his parents (together), or Rick Hansen.

Each displayed unrivaled athletic endurance and sacrifice, and they did it strictly to benefit other people. Plus they're hometown boys.

Why not? For some reason he is a Torch Bearer, so why not keep the same logic pattern?

It would please all the Conservatives if he lit it and if he fell in the caldron afterwards he could please the Liberals as well .He could unite the country in one fall swooop :wink: :wink:

Enough with these legends of the past! How about doing a Calgary and letting some unknown child - an Olympian of the future, if you will - light the cauldron.

The rumour of Suzuki had better be wrong. The games will be completely undermined in my opinion, if any politician or activist lights the flame. :x
