HELL YEAH!

Canada wins the World Cup!



Our team managed to edge Finland in a 3-2 victory that proves that hockey is still our game.

Vinnie Lecavalier won tournament MVP. Marty Brodeur overcame a wrist injury to display some of his sharpest goaltending ever. And this bunch of all-stars really came together as a team to play exciting, unbeaten hockey for the entire tournament.

Now, I guess we will all have to settle in for what looks like it's gonna be a long lockout.

Did Canada negotiate with terrorists?

I sure as hell hope not. I hope that Canadian journalist Scott Taylor was released without any promises by Canada. I hope that someone in Al Qua'eda just decided to release him, for some strange unexplained reason.

But this sounds very fishy:

"Turkish intelligence people say I'm the only Westerner ever released by the Al-Qaeda group and they can't understand why," he told the daily.

In Ottawa, the foreign affairs ministry said little about the story. A spokesman said Taylor was received late Monday at the Canadian embassy in Ankara. "I will not tell you anything more," the spokesman, Reynald Doiron, told AFP.

I know that the Canadian policy has been to try to stay out of the line of fire as much as possible, in hopes that we won't become a target. And as far as I can tell, nobody's suggesting that Taylor's release was anything other than spontaneous.

I hope that's the end of the story. For all our sakes.
