Well VANOC has gone too far this time. It has just been announced that our Olympic committe is trademarking a line from our National anthem for the games motto here in 2010. The line "With Glowing Hearts" (in French and English) will be the motto for the Olympics. Canadians are outraged. We have already been told we can't use the word Olympic on any signs or any businesses that have nothing to do with the Olympics. Now this - many feel it is going too far. I could just imagine the US allowing the Stars and Stripes to be trademarked!!!
