New Zealand did very well in the triathlon (I don't know if that is the right spelling). They didn't win the gold but they did win silver and bronze in the womens' and took the silver in the mens'. No need to mention who won the gold. Before events started this morning Australia had won 12 gold and India was second with 4. However, I haven't spotted much of the maple syrup.
Despite having 8 times the population of New Zealand, Canada only manages to get the same number of gold medals so far. Once again, the Great White North is being eaten alive by other countries.
No wonder why a cursory glance at the threads by Canadian FRers reveal why they are in such a foul mood LOL.
I understand your view on Canada and it's all in good humor.
But, I've seen FR posters take the same tack with Canada, branding them all as a pile of leftist stinkos. When we do have good friends in Canada as we do with you.
This is a conservative board without international boundaries. But, there are some narrow, uninformed thinkers.
