I also totally forgot to mention how the Olympic Committee gets a side eye with a gas face for what they did at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver 2010. The Cowichan First Nations people have a beautiful knitting tradition, and a bid was put in for the Cowichan people to provide sweaters to the Hudson Bay Company to sell in conjunction with the Olympics. They were not given the bid and if I remember right, the sweaters weren't even going to be made in a Canadian factory, but in China. Eventually it was worked out, but to have a design called "Cowichan" mass produced and leave the people who own the tradition out in the cold, then go after everyone who is using words or symbols associated with the Olympics is so shady I'm surprised rickets isn't on the rise from the lack of sunlight and resulting vitamin D deficiency.
