Umm, 14 gold medals compared to 9 for the states.

Ouch is right.

Don't get confused, either... Gold is the standard for victory, not the others.
Edit: Also 14 is an olympic record not only for most golds by a host nation, but most golds ALL TIME in the winter olympics.

Still had more medals overall then you, and @ winter olympics, which pales in comparison to the summer olympics

Btw: 2008 summer olympics

United States (USA) 36g || 38s || 36b || 110total
Canada (CAN) 3g || 9s || 6b || 18total

E: You can have hockey.

gg man i had this same discussion In game.

A focus on total medal count is a unique quirk of American sports culture: In the rest of the world, where reality actually applies, the currency of a national squad’s Olympic success comes in only one colour - GOLD.

I didn't know this thread was about the summer olympics... remind me where that comes up as relevant? This is about the winter olympics... and hockey specifically.
But nice try in your attempt to make the US seem superior in medal count versus a country that has no business in summer sports because of how north we are.

E: You can keep Michael Phelps... since he needs to cheat with performance enhancing drugs in order to win. The guy is a sham and therefore the perfect representative for america.

lol a sham? I guarantee if you gave any performance-enhancing drugs to ANY Canadian swimmer, Phelps would still smoke 'em...
My point is that we still get more overall medals than you @ the winter olympics (although not more gold). Even with "how north you are"...
While you can't even compare to us in the Summer games...
It's ok, I feel bad for you

you make me laugh

why? because you get paid more to do less.

cuz when you fucking ignorant Americans come into Canada for a conference guess who runs the meeting, knows the most, and does the most.

please, learn before you speak you god damn moron.

what do you do?

and just because we don't waste every penny from tax payers to get ammunition, doesn't mean if i met you in the street, that i wouldn't be able to make you my bitch.

absolutely fucking incredible

Olympic Gold.

except silver and bronze don't matter, only gold. So you are a fuckin moron.

Lol I'm a moron, yet you don't think placing in the top 3 in the world matters.
Going to let you sit and think about your line of reasoning. That should be punishment enough.
