Is there something I'm not understanding? I know I'm not that smart, but someone please explain this to me. I do understand that Vanoc wants to include celebrities to carry the torch. They have included such celebrities as Jan Arden, Michael Buble, Terry Fox's dad, Wayne Gretzky's father, Stan Smyl and Bob Lenarduzzi. I understand all those people are Canadian and/ or important sports figures. But Arnold? He's not Canadian. He's not a sports figure. We can't vote for him. Why does he get the privilege to carry the Olympic torch? If it is because he is a celebrity, why can't any other celebrity carry it? Hey, Bradgelina would be a good choice! They get more publicity than Arnold. If it is because he is a political figure, isn't Obama a better choice?
