Well, if you are going to chalk it all up to "luck", then shouldn't "luck" randomly help a country as much as hinder? Or is "luck" for the United States and against Canada? Maybe because they are a Christian nation that believes in God more than we do, God has been on their side? I don't know how the randomness of "luck" seems to almost always put Canada in 4th or 5th place.

Why do you believe that "luck" has favoured so many nations over Canada, to allow surprise winners while our favorites finish outside the medals?
