I'll wager that the elite chose Vancouver to coincide with the peak of the global warming scam.  It would have been used as proof positive of global warming on all us unsuspecting sheople.  Luckily that charade collapsed under its own weight.

Completely agree, Trouser, but would like to take it a step further. Although I haven't been there to see for myself, would bet an operation to chemtrail (spraying of moisture-absorbing chemicals, i.e., "Dyn-O-Gel" a substance which has been coined by media as "diaper gel") the area was taking place prior to the Olympics to make sure message of global warming could be made to millions. When a storm is stifled in one area, the balance is disrupted and the energy will move to another. Washington, D.C. experienced 77" of snow -- what news sources stated was an historical and record breaking storm! Very nice to see gov't shut down, but interestingly enough, those same news sources never mentioned global warming as their audience would have definitely chuckled . . that is, for the exception of "GW diehards!"
