Canadian PM Optimistic about Canada Olympic Prospects

Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he remains optimistic about Canada's medal prospects at the Olympic Games in Beijing.


Harper, taking questions after a funding announcement in Newfoundland, said the Games are far from over.


"We're coming up on the back half of the Games," he said. "So we'll remain optimistic and of course we'll cheer for everybody who wears the Maple Leaf."


Canada has been shut out of the medals at the Games though Day 6, but there are 10 days of competition remaining and some of Canada's best athletes have yet to compete.


Still the likes of Togo, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have already made it to the medal podium.
