Talk about a good news story!


Seriously? You are either trolling or dumber than I ever imagined.

In more cultured locations we actually are proud of something more
than football or basketball players, Ditzy.

Celine, Michael Bublé, or Shenia maybe. Bagpipes, not so much.

What Canadian stands above MJ or Tom Brady. Oh, I suppose we have to
consider this guy.

Not just that guy, Stinky. Don't forget Rocket Richard (8 Stanley cups). He was the only non-politician given a state funeral in Quebec. His younger brother, Henri, was on 11 Stanley Cup winning teams...more than any other hockey player. In fact, in all of professional sport only Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics matches that record.
Then we have Wayne Gretzky...records too numerous to mention....and now a local boy who is doing pretty darn good..Sidney Crosby.
