Thanks to the Winter Olympics, the Canadians moved closer together. Canada is a multicultural strong immigrant country, which is characterized by tensions in society. But none of this was evident during the games. Also sports, Olympics for Canada was like a dream. After the Canadians on their last home games in 1988 (at the time in Calgary) without gold medals had disappointed, there was this time 14 gold, 7 silver and 5 bronze medals for Canada.
