I think it terrible that the NHL stars and politions and celberties are running the relay. They should let the regular people do the relay since they can’t afford tickets. They should all be ashamed of them selfs.

I just want people to know that there are lots of regular peolpe running the torch. IN Medicine Hat, I personally know one young fellow and a mother of four and also a young woman who just recieved her Canadian Citizenship status recently and is proud to be a regular Canadian and her boyfriend proposed to her in front of City Hall at the end of her run and it was so exciting!!!!
