  1. Harper’s obviously lying! Everyone is a fan of the Super Bowl, which regularly attracts an audience of 12 to 20 billion, or, almost as many as McDonalds has served.

  2. Hey, I am with Harper on this one.
    Geez, for a nation whose media hates America our Canadian sports media types go all goofy over a football game that doesn’t mean dick all in the scheme of Canadian life.
    Makes one wonder.
    OT: On the other hand, I just may watch Global during the commercials to catch the Libs beat each other up over “Kyoto” or other hot air and weak leader matters.
    The Superbowl may have some value for Canadians after all.
    The commercials!

  3. This sports fan watches the last 10-15 minutes of any series, so I can talk intelligently to my grandson who always bets me on games. However, I will watch Global on Sunday, and tomorrow night I will watch HNIC just because they are doing a story on the girls hockey team in Warner AB. A small town, threatened with school closure, turned a joke answer into a reality. During a brainstorming session on how to keep their school, a boy piped up with, how about a girls hockey school. Girls come from all over to attend.

  4. OMFG! Stephen Harper, Bush-bum-boy, American kow-tower, second son of the devil, etc., etc., doesn’t like SUPERBOWL?! What more evidence do we need of his unfitness for office, utter abnormalcy, and incarnate evilness?
    Stephane Dion supports Da Bears.. or is it Da Colts? Either way, he’s clearly a much better Canadian than Stephen Harper who ignores a sporting event that features two (2) Canadian players. Way to go Stephane!

  6. For Pete’s sake. I saw the comments on CTV 6 pm news tonight. His comments were purely tongue in cheek. He had a grin on his face to emphasize the joke. Why does the CBC twist this so much. This is my personal line in the sand when it comes to the CBC. I simply want it abolished completely. In the past I said “Oh well!”. I don’t care about the fallout anymore. I will even give up Conservative power to see the demise of this CBC claptrap.
    The country would be significantly better off.

  8. Harper doesn’t really believe that; he has no convictions on that.
    I have a letter from 1977 where he said he loved the Super Bowl. He said he was a couches patate and was worried about his overweight.
    I have already talked to the CBC. They see it as more proof of his dishonesty.
    What else has he lied about? We don’t know. He’s not saying.

  9. The CP reporter calculates:
    “Harper’s admission to not being interested in a major sporting event is somewhat surprising.”
    If the CBC has money to buy low-grade web-filler like this, then they have more money than ways to spend it wisely.
    The solution is a drastic cut in public funding of the CBC and a change in its leadership.

  10. The last part makes it sound like the CBC prefers the NFL to the CFL, could it be that they lost the contract for the CFL. SOUR GRAPES perhaps!

  11. Hunter: it was a joke, OK? Like whether or not anyone cares about the Superbowl is important? I’m a Peyton Manning fan, so I’m going to watch, but if someone wants to ignore the game, that’s fine with me. I just thought the insinuation that PMSH is somehow less than human because he’s not a Superbowl fanatic is ridiculous.

  12. The best thing about living south of the border is I can watch the Superbowl commercials instead of the CRTC dictated Canadian content ads.
    Yeah, it is more about the hype than the actual game but sometimes the game is actually pretty good. Besides, the interest in the Superbowl is more uniform across Canada than the Grey Cup has ever been. As anyone who whitnessed the last few games in centre of the universe, toronto, can attest.

  15. Here we go again! A Canadian Prime Minister dissing something Americans cherish. I guess we can count on Canadian/American relations to go down the crapper once again. Sheesh….
