Downright awesome! 
It kinda sucks how advertisements drive big trucks to choke out the torch wielder though.

The runners only get to carry the torch about 500 metres so no worries 'bout stinky diesel fumes. Too windy anyways.
It's was a huge bit o' fun. We looked forward to that for several weeks. Stood in the freezing cold for 40 minutes in order to see the flame pass by us. Immediately went home to warm up afterwards. Thank goodness we wore our mits... and only live two blocks from were we stood....

Slick Coca-Cola highlight reel of the flame touring south-western ontario. Stratford High-school students make an appearance at 2:47. And yes... the event was every bit as commercial as the video makes it out to be.
