Sarah Mclachlan was soulfully sensuous when she burst on the Canadian music scene in 1991.

Now she’s just boring.

As noted in the South Park movie, Canada has already apologized many times for Bryan Adams.

Just awful.

Maybe Bryan and Sarah had babies and that’s where Nickelback came from.

But, with the Olympic games opening in Vancouver tonight, expect to hear lots of Bryan and Sarah and crap, at least according to the adverts on NBC.

No Sloan, Tragically Hip, Neil Young or even a reformed Guess Who – all decent Canadian contributions to the soundtracks of our lives.

Nope, you’ll hear the tired and true, just like from the Service Employees International Union who sent out a press release yesterday playing the food safety card.

The Service Employees International Union, the nation’s largest healthcare union, is raising questions about the safety of food being provided to athletes at the Vancouver Winter Olympics by Sodexo, a global food service contractor based in France who served contaminated meat at a camp in Virginia sickening more than two dozen boy scouts.

The union is calling on Sodexo to provide greater transparency about the origin of the food they will be serving athletes, including: disclosing the primary supplier of the food that they will serve to athletes and whether those companies have had problems with contaminated food; whether the food will come from a "cook and chill" facility or will be cooked and served on-site; and to make the steps they are taking to ensure food safety easily available to the public.

Sure, Sodexo should be able to answer any questions about the origins of its food and safety measures taken, just like the union should clearly state its concerns which seem based on employment rather than microbial food safety.
