Canada had many opportunities to win the game. I wonder how many people in states like Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas and Oklahoma watched it.

True but even those folks that are normally not fans seem to be rubbing our noses in it. Especially after Justin said they would never take our game. They literally did. I learned 55 years ago when a rookie Ken Dryden shut down one the best offensive teams ever assembled(my favourite team then and now-I know that is not woke because 4 was part of it but I digress) to never ever trash talk unless you are prepared to get it back in spades.

Canada was clearly the better hockey team on Sunday morning. The players should be proud and leave knowing we’re the best - you play that game ten times Canada wins 9. Congrats to the Americans but I’m sure they know, like all of us, that they fluked out - lucky break fellas.

It's the thing about the IIHF tournament format -- once you're at the quarter finals, it's a single-game knockout. Obviously very different from Stanley Cup Playoffs. The IIHF single-game knockout formula favours underdogs, because all you have to do is come up with one good/lucky game. On the other hand, in Stanley Cup Playoffs, you can play three shitty games and lose them and still win the series.

I wish someone would apply the plain language policy to the Income Tax Act. Did not know about Cantor Fitzgerald(hardest hit firm on 9/11) purchasing the rights to potential tariff refunds from companies at a steep discount(and the Lutnick connection). That is interesting.

Ronald-key word there is allegedly. There is no credible evidence that happened including what was reported in the 9/11 commission. Go ahead and hate Lutnick for other reasons if you want but not for that episode. I am no fan of bankers(see all previous posts about Carney and GS) but CF's behaviour after 9/11 was admirable.

People dream on. No bilateral unless Carney reverses the Chinese EVs and ends Supply Management, neither of which will happen. The garbage can will win in the end.

Martin,
I'm open to arguments on Supply Management. On Chinese EVs, I want plants that are union shops and not just in Ontario. I also want EV prices to go down and quality to go up. Competiting with the Chinese will do that, at least to a certain extent.

POS is an erratic, raving lunatic, so that bodes well for the future. His sanity and cognitive health have only one way to go. Remember the latest gem: "I can destroy the country." Like you've said, it will only get much worse before it gets better.
