Canada wins Gold for Sledge Hockey

Why did I have to dig for this?
WOOHOO! Way to go, guys! And if you don’t know what the heck sledge hockey IS or looks like, check this out (h/t to whoever provided the link in the comments a few days ago – it’s late!)
Okay, we can now all pull out our politically incorrect “if you don’t want to play like the girls, play like the (enter inappropriate term here)” to put those overpaid hockey “stars” in their place.

  1. Why did you have to dig for it? Because it goes against the CBC’s mantra. The handicapped can’t fend forthemselves,they must be looked after by our nanny state. This just proves how wrong the nanny state is.And if the nanny state is wrong,a lot of trough-hogs are going to lose their jobs!Can’t have that know,can we!

  2. The link provided took me to Rick Mercer Report. (I thought the link was to find out wtf sledge hockey was, good for the guys on their win regardless of the sport)
    RMR is someone I happen to watch if I lose my remote and am to lazy to look for it. But the March 14 episode had a couple good segments on it- IE-Ricks Rant check it out, even the CBC has to give Harper credit for the the Afgan. move. Check it out.

  3. and we need Rick Mercer to tell us that PMSH was there? He is CBC’s main ‘reporter’?
    Way to go sledge team!

  4. Check out the archived RMR sketch titled Nike Commercial. Nothing like Stephen Harper shooting hockey pucks at Mercer as a nice way to start the day.

  5. While you rightly complain of a general lack of coverage in paralympics sledge hockey(wild game) are you not also committing the same offense?
    What about ALL our Canadian paralympic athletes,especially the downhill skiers and curling teams.Believe their golds should be just as newsworthy….Canada kicks ass!!!
    BTW,disappointed to see a thread supposedly created to celebrate the sledge hockey team’s gold already being morphed into yet another partisan whipping post…sigh

  6. CO, I did a post on the paralympics a few days ago on my site covering off a few of the sports, I just didn’t crosspost it here. I missed the curling gold though (I knew they were in the running but didn’t twig that they won).

  7. Brief post today at the old Blog on the Alberta Conservative Leadership race. In particular, some comments on two of the candidates, Western Seperatists Mark Norris and Ted Morton. Bottom line: they’re traitors, and Stephen Harper should denounce them. Actually, all good Canadians should denounce them. Read it here:

  8. bigcitylib…Actually,if the left could manage to tone down the partisan rhetoric and give our new PM a FAIR chance,you’d see separation in Quebec and the west continue to wain.
    If you are indeed serious about denouncing these separatists,as you claim,you must show at least a modicum of support for the party that has put this issue squarely on the back burner where it belongs.Quebec federalist voters could not have made a more clear statement with their shift to the Cons.
    Again,unless you are completely blinded by partisonship,you must admit that the previous liberal government created much of the problem itself.And by the way,having earlier lived in Alberta for 20 years,I can also inform you(as NO ONE from the left get’s this)that these western”traitors”as you call them are the direct product of 12 years of Liberal dictatorship.
    You claim that these disenfranchised Canadians are traitors,yet your camp creates these drones all too proud to put their PARTY ahead of their COUNTRY!Sound like traitors to me.
    Your hypocrasy is completely underwhelming.

  9. SOURCING ‘PRAVDA’
    OH YA RIGHT — LEADER MUZZLES CABINET MINISTERS
    IN WHICH COUNTRY?
    GIVE YOU ONE GUESS.

  10. bigcitylib, you can’t possibly believe that anyone in Alberta could give a flying patootie about what some yahoo in Toronto thinks of the frontrunners for an Alberta party leadership race. And since exPMPM did more for AB separtism, if you haven’t got him on your list of “traitors” then your list has no validity.
