I think our sense of national pride and loss of the "I wanna be like the states" inferiority complex has been evolving for most of the time since the turn of the century, quite possibly even since the late 90s. I think you're right though that we realized our own greatness and potential during the Olympics, especially after we set 4 world records for medal counts and host nation. Although, I think the election and subsequent re-election of the war criminal W by the Americans made most Canadians realize that Canada is nearly perfect the way it is, by comparison. Also, have you noticed the amount of new Canadian shows that have come on the air since 2010? Most are doing quite well and have great production values. It's been a long time since so many shows centred on/in Canada have been on the air, at least from what I remember.
