You Go Girl

If there is anything I've learned from culturally insensitive sterotypes is that the only thing Canadians love more than their hockey is a good stiff drink.  So why on Koresh's green earth would anyone be shocked that the Canada's women's Olympic Hockey team would celebrate their gold medal victory with cigars and a few barley pops. 

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is investigating the post game celebration that took place on the ice long after the fans and any impressionable youngsters cleared the building. What is there to investigate?  The IOC bills its self as an organization of sport, peace and cultural understanding.  For Canadians drinking is as cultural as a Chinese dragon dance or fighting on St. Patrick's day. 

So I say to our neighbors to the north congragulations.  Stay proud and stand on guard for thee.
