“We’re not worried about it at all,” Dave Cobb, the executive vice-president of the Vancouver Organising Committee said in response to a newspaper article that dubbed the torch “The Olympic Toke“.

The torch’s design is intended to “represent Canada through the contours of winter landscapes and lines of winter sports,” according VANOC’s website.
Having missed out on the first unveiling of Vancouver’s 2010 Winter Olympic torch, @sevendaggers felt we should be informed of the hooha.
On Flickr, we found Canadian designer Ben Hulse sharing a set of various people, including himself, handling the product of their labors.
VANOC says it has had more requests from Canadian communities wanting to participate in the torch relay than the schedule can handle.
Canadians don’t want to miss out on a “good thing.” We always knew our neighbors to the north were a laid back kind of people.
