I don't know what was more shocking at the olympics, that GB's (Scotland's) women's curling team not making the medals or Canada's women curling winning silver! Well played Sweden. Tonight it's men's curling Canada vs Norway, guess whom I'm placing the mortgage payment on.
Since 1994, lacrosse has been Canada’s national summer game while hockey is Canada’s national winter game.
