The 2010 Games have united Canada, but have divided the city of Vancouver.

In this episode, we hear analysis from fans and foes of the Olympic Games, including:

  • Dr. Christopher Shaw, anti-Olympics crusader.
  • David Eby, civil rights advocate.
  • Deborah Carlson, climate change specialist who studied the environmental impact of the Games.
  • Jane Roos, founder of Canadian Athletes Now.
  • Ben Rutledge, gold medal winner in Men's 8s rowing at the Beijing Games.
  • Reilly Yeo, Vancouver-based communications consultant.
