We all know Canada has problems with the future lines drawn on Arctic maps and we all know Canada lives in the shadow of its larger neighbor to the south. The abject cruelty shown by Canadian soldiers in international conflicts is scantily referred to, as indeed is the utter incapacity of this [country] to host a major international event, due to its inferiority complex, born of a trauma being the skinny and weakling bro to a beefy United States and a colonial outpost to the United Kingdom, whose Queen smiles happily from Canadian postage stamps.
Maybe it is this which makes the Canadians so … retentive, or cowardly. So it is not exactly a huge surprise to have international skating experts from the four corners of the Earth criticizing the decision to award the Men’s figure skating Gold medal to the US athlete Evan [Lysacek] over the reigning Olympic Champion Evgeny Plushenko, whose superior performance was inexplicably ignored.
I guess people can't be civilized losers these days.
no different than typical american bashing done by canadians, except they dont write articles about it in the national press.
LOL

wow... :rolleyes:
lol @ pravda...i've read numerous legitimate Russian sports news websites and none of them said bad things about canada or the canadian team, they were more upset with the poor performance displayed by the Russians in the game. Russian media won't let it go though, the whole team including Ovechkin will be the subject of jokes, embarrassment and blame for some time now, they should have come out more prepared, that was a bull game and they know it.
