#alexandre bilodeau

At 7:15 on a Sunday morning, I found myself in my kitchen making pancakes as cinnamon buns cooked in the oven and bacon was sizzling. The coffee was brewing, the TV was on, and my friends were already on their way over. Why, you ask? Because the men’s gold medal hockey game started at 2pm in Milan, which meant it was 8am in Toronto, and we were going to eat breakfast, have some mimosas, and watch…

:’)

one happiest moments of my life (:

Kalan Porter: I bet Alexandre Bilodeau has "skied down a few big mountains" since winning gold at the Olympics. If you know what I mean.

Kalan Porter: I bet he's "ridden a few big moguls"... if ya catch my drift.

Kalan Porter: I bet he's had a few chances to "own the podium"... if you're pickin up what I'm putting down.

Sochi 2014 Olympics are just one of the reasons why I am so proud and extremely grateful for the fact that I live in Canada.

Canada is commonly known as “the country above the United States” or the country that loves maple syrup and polar bears and bacon and beer.

Well,

Canada is the country that was united together during a two week period as one nation. Canada is the country who handled controversy and scandal gracefully (as one very dear ice dancing pair did). Canada is the country that bit their nails as our women’s hockey team was down two nothing and then came back in the last few minutes to win the gold in overtime.

Canada is the country that sent its troops to peacekeep in Afghanistan. Canada is the country of those like Romeo Dallaire and Craig Kileburger. Canada is the country where we are free to practice our own traditions and religions and lifestyles. We are free.

Canada is the country with a Prime Minister that bet cases of beer with Barack Obama in regards to the Canada vs. USA hockey games. Canada is home to those such as Alexandre Bilodeau, the moguls athlete who lives his dreams for his brother with cerebral palsy. It is the country of those like Gilmore Junio, a speedskater that gave up his Olympic spot so that his teammate could compete. It’s home to the Canadian coach that went to help the poor Russian skier after they wiped out so that the skier could save part of his dignity. Canada is my country.
