The Court For the Arbitration of Sport knocked back our appeal, so that means we’re still down 6 points. We’re playing Colombia right now and if we don’t win, we’re done. If we win, we’re through.

So far it’s 0-0 at the beginning of the second half…

bosstrabs @hugopaI can you come in here and post one of your methodical critiques of one of LT’s posts to give me something more interesting to read?

Half a page should do.

I’m just gonna say that loopy seems to have mentioned every single musical artist that Canada has ever produced in this thread, except for the four best ones: Crystal Castles, Grimes, Arcade Fire and Skinny Puppy.

Sums him up really.

      🤔

      They seem to enjoy being called rednecks around that way too

          I fired off a few. Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Delirium, Stars, Feist, Lights, Oscar Peterson… The list is long and many.

          I’d rather bore you all with Canadian women’s football.

          We’re through to the quarter-finals. As we should be. Much ado about nothing.

            There’s a pun about Canada beating Colombia and British Columbia in here somewhere. I’m just not there… yet.

              Alberta is the Texas of Canada. It’s full of immense beauty but sadly populated by a bunch of weapons carrying them. It’s also worth mentioning that they have the largest single polluting project within the northern hemisphere in the Athabascan oil sands.

              It has some pockets of progressive thinkers, but considering who they’ve elected as their most recent premier, they’re not doing well to squash stereotypes from within the rest of the country.

                  loopdokter The provincial electoral map shows you all you need to know. Edmonton is an orange island while the rest of the inbred hicks vote conservative agains their own best interests. I have a policy of ignorance when it comes to this province until calgary decides to vote for someone reasonable.

                      I’m not going to lie, I’m going to give Canada the s to the werve based on the recent feedback.

                      Cheers!

                        Smallman1 Montreal, Vancouver (most of BC to be honest), and the Rockies when not on fire are all great places to visit. Just don’t go in the winter. I didn’t think cold bothered me all that much until I went to Montreal in February.

                          So the Canadian bint who got caught decided to rat all the other teams out? Lol, what a complete clusterfuck and what a CUNT

                            LT42 like all Canada-based news this has flown under my radar. If only someone could fill me in with several paragraphs of deets!

                              I mean, they did vote in a progressive mayor pretty consistently which creates a bit of minor hope. It would be nice to see him win the provincial NDP leadership - which I think he will. The ‘problem’ is he’s brown and Muslim, so I unfortunately I doubt he’ll lead your province as premier.

                                  mono-stereo Arcade Fire are Canadian? I also assumed they where British. Not sure I like them anymore.

                                  Yep. Formed and lived in Montreal for years, but now residing in New Orleans. Their lead singer is American but his missus is Canadian and so are the rest of the band.

                                    loopdokter He’s already won the ndp leadership and I think it’s the right choice. Calgary voted for him for mayor and I think he was reasonably well liked. All we need is Edmonton and a few Calgary ridings to flip and it’s possible. Rural alberta is a complete loss, they’re too dumb to vote for policies that will improve their lives.
