having been dating a Canadian for the past 6 months, I realize that the ideological differences between the two countries are grander than the average observer might think. There is no excuse for either one to 'boo' the other regardless of circumstances. Surely we are all more adult than that and poor sportsmanship really has no place between two ostensibly united countries. (albeit Canada seems quite vitriolic re:Iraq) We have football, baseball, and basketball - lets let poor Canada have their hockey eh?

The kicker is that basketball was invented by a Canadian school techer ;)
