I don't like Tim Hortons after trying i have found there is not one item they sell that i appreciate in the least. And i find their commercials to be smarmy to the max with an eye rolling index of 24 out of possible 28. I would not raise a liter of orphan raccoons. Raccoons are a hideous nuisance introduced species. I completely despise the patriotic beer commercials. I've cringed mightily ever since that I am Canadian dork got a microphone. He should have been ground up into beaver bait long ago. Professional hockey is a bore. CFL is much more interesting and i seldom even watch that, i have been know to if Sask is in the final game. I think most people like pro hockey because they were told to do so. If they stopped and stood back with an objective eye they'd scratch their head in wonder why they cared. But then maybe i'm not a very good Canuckian. I checked each stereotype listed in the article and decided I must not be Canadian.

And then I am ruthless. Until we win, at which time I experience friendly guilt. Yeah, I also empathize too much to be an effective cheerleader for anything in sport but hockey.

Hockey gold wasn't that much of a surprise. But then i lack the hockey love gene or sport love gene at all. I as usual felt bad for those who didn't get a medal no matter where they were from. Shouldn't they have medal for every place, first to last? I like how the closing ceremonies trotted out every stereotype they could think of so we could all laugh at ourself.
