Including tied without hammer.

I preferred the 12 team format but then it's not a "true" Canadian championship since you have Team Canada and Northern Ontario instead of the territories and the territories sharing a team. That being said, Nunavut couldn't even send a team for the women's anyway.
Does it take away the mystique of winning if you don't get to represent Canada at the Worlds? That's part of why we have done so poorly the last few Worlds as the rest of the world has caught up. But we should really be sending our best performers overall for the year, IMO.
We have the Slams to watch Dunstone, Gushue, Koe over and over and over. Keep the provincial and territorial reps in the Brier and Scotties and consider whether those championships should decide who we send to Worlds.

I don’t know why I’m enjoying watching Kevin Koe lose.

Im far from enjoying it, but its remarkable that a guy who was among the best of all time can just lose it like he has.

I guess if Dunstone is from BC, Homan is from Alberta.

Once Gushue won early, the last hour of NWT/PEI was just drama.

McEwen is through, Dunstone is done. Now if only both Bottcher and Gushue could lose tonight.

I like McEwen but I enjoy watching teams from Saskatchewan lose.
So go Gushue.

McEwen remembers he's McEwen. Can't believe he went for the double across the entire rings.

Team Einarson finally speaks on the matter. Tested positive for a banned substance through bodily contact.

I know nothing about drugs, but it seems strange that a banned substance she was "unknowingly exposed to through bodily contact" would remain in her system for almost a month (first positive test was Jan 24, second positive test was Feb 19).

Im mostly sure the sample is taken once, and seperated into an A and a B sample. When the A tested positive then the B will be tested to confirm the A test.
Its not collected twice.
