The protests are over how Vancouver is paying for the Games. This has been a problem for multiple host cities both summer and winter. Denver was awarded the games for 1976 but the voters didn't pass the bond issues on the November ballot to afford all the construction that has to go into the games. There were protests over money at the Beijing olympics as well.
I thought the whales at the opening ceremonies were fantastic! I would have loved to see up close how they did that effect.
