    The queen of another country is on our currency and our economy was really the economy of our scumbag neighbor. And to top it off we re a 30 million people population occupying the second largest piece of land on earth (that we got through a genocide). That does not sound like a country, rather a strategic nightmare.

    That and Canadian teams continuing to fail to actually win the cup. I can’t believe I have not seen a Canadian team win it in my lifetime. If one of them actually won, imagine the joy across the country.

      The Canadian teams are at a financial disadvantage due to the exchange rate. They earn their revenue in Canadian dollars, but have to pay their salaries in US dollars.
