After the Olympics, I was so proud to be a Canadian and was shocked by this recent shameful display over losing a hockey game. Wonderful writing, Jen. Love, Elaine

I know...as a fellow Canadian, I hung my head in shame. People were STABBED.. my jaw hung to the floor. Stabbed? Over a sport? C'mon people!!!! Canada Day is just around the corner...and??? Anyhoo, I'm left baffled, too. Good write this. Just sucks you had this subject to write about at all...Hi from Cyndi From Ontario, Born in Montreal...Home of the Habs...
