I'm so happy to report to everyone that the Canadian government has solved all poverty, war, and disease. Well that's what appears to be the case, as I'm pretty sure the House of Commons wouldn't spend valuable time debating about who's captain of Team Canada if they DIDN'T have those issues sorted out.
Yes, you may have heard, the House of Commons demanded Hockey Canada come before them the other day and explain why they had chosen Shane Doan as the captain of the team in the World Men's Hockey Championships. Back in 2005 a linesman claimed that Doan had called him a "f-----g frenchman." The NHL investigated and said that he had not said it. Infact, Doan is a very strong Christian and is often pestered by his teammates because he will never swear, the worst he has been said to swear is he once used the word "fudge." I think it's pretty out of character for him to one day completely turn all that around and insult the linesman like that. So, the wonderful Bloc Quebecois decided to get Quebecers angry by bringing up this issue. I've seen editorials, heard people on the radio and on TV, and seen articles in the paper, and everyone thinks its absolutely retarded, and of course, so do I. I'm pretty sure our government has a LOT of better things to do than sort this out.
So after the response of people, and the explanation by Hockey Canada, it was dismissed from the House and Doan is still Captain. I'm glad Team Canada is still captained by a Native Canadian, and personally, I think a Native has more right than anyone else in this country to drop a remark like that to either Frenchman or Englishman, after all, it was their land in the first place.
