Norway, another socialistic state, at the moment has more gold medals
than the USA, which has nine, the same as much smaller,
population-wise,
as Canada.

Must be the fault of global warming, eh?

They probably care more about these sports.



Yeah, that must be it. A country with a population of under six million
fielded a hockey team that beat the highly paid U.S. National Hockey
League team because the Americans don't care enough about hockey. Oh,
and the Fins only came in third.

The 'highly paid' team was not a US National Hockey League team. It is
a team comprised of players
from many (if not all) of the National Hockey League teams. They get
together as a US Olympic Team
once every four years.

Of course, you knew that, eh?


So what we are finding is Canada can excel at "sports" like curling and
street fighting that nobody else really cares about...


Who really cares about kiddie motorbike slow-speed racing on piles of dirt?

Harry, you told us how little you cared about the Olympics, and then started praising the socialist
Fins for their hockey prowess. Either you care or you don't. Try to be a little bit consistent, or
people won't trust your story much.

BTW, you did notice that almost all the Fins were professional hockey players - many of them right
here in the good old USA. Eh?
