Pretty much. srug

I simply don't beieve a stupid list off some canadian website. I'm not going to get evidence to disprove something I couldn't care less about.

fair enough srug

nobody is going to make you have an informed opinion

My opinion is informed... I read and watched news media for the entire year. srug

no, totally, that makes you way more knowledgeable than an organization that monitors media in over a hundred nations, you know, as its sole purpose

but then again, I even conceded that you might be right, maybe in the UK or Europe it wasnt the top story, it certainly was when all news is analyzed together.

EDIT: of course, this might reflect the fact that we talk about the Montreal Canadians more than most other things in this nation

Maybe it was more out of politeness.

The Quebec Quiches v The Montreal Canadians

essentially. Quebec has wanted to separate from Canada for years, and since the 50s (at least), "English Canada" was the excuse for all of the problems in the province. Montreal has a huge English speaking population, and has generally opposed these things, thus, to the fans at least, the politics played out on the ice.

to the rest of Canada, though, they were both "those Quebec teams". Montreal is popular outside of Quebec, but not nearly in the same way, or representing the same things. in Winnipeg, the montreal canadians are really not seen as "patriotic", or at least any moreso than other Canadian teams (there are 6, we only cheer for them)

I also think that Obama repealing DADT was a bigger event than the Mid-term elections.

You should make each one out of a different kind of snow that when people can go: "Yeah the inimalists live in that ikkikuytakililo igloo and the Eiffels live in the tikujyutaskipol igloo." No need for numbers at all.
