Everyone stop and think for a minute about that: Imagine Gilbert Gottfried calling a hockey game.
Personally, I think I would find it hilarious!

I do not think the Charter Right of the freedom of mobility should apply to immigrants/new Canadians until years after they are integrated into Canada.
If Canada needs skilled labour and opens up immigration to compenstate, it only makes sense that they would have to live in the communities that need them at least for a few years. Stop moving to Toronto and Vancouver... the jobs aren't there. For example, we need doctors up north, yet most immigrant doctors that move to Canada just stay in the big centres.
When my family immigrated here, my folks sacrificed easy integration of urban areas and social services offered, and went up north where the work was. It drives me bonkers to see immigrants who are unemployed or under employed, yet refuse to move.

I actually like Mark Lee. I know he can be Oiler-centric sometimes but as a Canadian living in the US, his voice screams HNIC to me.

I would like to see a TV network called WET (White Entertainment Television)
On that note, I'd also like to see a parade for only Straight people.

as much as people #### on CBC for always showing the Leafs, i actually enjoy watching them more than any other eastern Canadian team. like the Canucks and Oilers, i can sit down and watch their games to actively root against them. i really don't care about the Senators at all, if i see then playing i usually turn the channel. and the Canadiens i can only watch if they're facing the Bruins, otherwise i don't care

She's definitely had the cold and flu this winter a few times. Like most people.
I saw her washing a grapefruit before cutting it yesterday and I asked what she was doing. She said the edge of the knife will pick up contamination from the skin and make it's way into the part she will eat. I don't eat grapefruits but when I have an orange I give it a cursory rub on my shirt and then use my teeth to rip the shell off.
so, people need to up their germ intake to stay healthier, not try to be like Howard Hughes.

Dude, that's the Florida way! Preferably just rip it off the tree and bite into it, as the citric acid burns your skin and your chin turns red!

All television stations would be better off playing episodes of the Simpsons 24 hours a day.

I can't believe they still haven't fixed that. It's ridiculous how a split second can ruin your enjoyment of a game.

Funny, I'm the exact opposite. I'm from the Toronto area but I'll change the channel when the Leafs are playing, I enjoy watching Senators games and am rather indifferent to the Habs.

The only good thing about the Super Bowl is the commercials.

There is still massive inequality between men and women and white people and people of color, even with these groups to help them. The groups are misguided sometimes, of course, but without them it would be a whole lot worse.
There's a whole huge difference between blackface and whiteface.
But then white people arguing how to fix racism is generally a really incredibly futile idea.

Academic people who link to bad articles and stupid blog rants that claim to tell the truth about whatever should have their academic status revoked.
Also, zombies are boring.
