According to Talk Radio (Rush mostly) they are now.

It probably wouldn't be so bad, actually.

The CBC is funded by the government up here, and it is the most reliable national news source we have on television. (CityTV is better for local news, though.) The rest of the content on the CBC isn't amazing, but that's what privately owned channels are for...entertainment.

Well it's Canada vs the US in the Gold medal Hockey game tonight at the Olympics.

Sure to be the most watch event in Canadian history

The Canadian's are playing like a team now; we should stomp the americans.

Go Canada Go

Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!

No so sure but hopeful: Go Canada Go!

Interesting that selling a 1st print woodgrain in excellent shape won't get you a ticket in the lower bowl of the arena. Apparently people are offering upto $5K in cash to get tickets but aren't having much success.

We really need this one.* Go Canada Go.

* I'd say 50:50...

*edit.

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe...we are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.

The US played extremely well and, to be honest, when they tied it I had a heart attack, and thought the momentum would carry through for the US in overtime. A shootout with Miller, the best goalie in the tournament bar none, would have been a nightmare. Great game.

Best,

Paul

4 on 4 definitely combined nicely with appearing to come out wanting that win more in overtime. Looked absolutely neck-and-neck aside otherwise.

Good refereeing with as few penalties as possible helped the game as well, IMHO.

> when they tied it I had a heart attack

Had half expected that to go over the line with 0.1 seconds to spare this time around...
