We Canadians can be a pretty dense lot at times. Oh we love to complain, to bitch and moan, but then we just roll over, and we never even expect breakfast or a call the next day. Take the latest NHL lockout, the third in less than ten years. How can the NHL treat their fans so badly? Why are the two sides in this dispute so willing to dig in their heels? Simple, both sides know that Canadians will be back in droves like they have after each previous work stoppage.

Just about the last thing I felt like writing about today was Yunel Escobar's bigot moment. Because why should I care what a second-rate baseball player, on a losing team, thinks about ANYTHING? But since I do speak Spanish, and I do know and love Cuba, I know this is bullshit:Read more » … but what Escobar did was utterly despicable and unexpected. But hey, these undereducated über gazillionairres are used to getting what they want and saying what they wish without consequence, aren’t they? (6) Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario Olympic soccer bronze medalist and national women’ team Christine Sinclair answers some questions from her fans and Sportsnet.ca host Gerry Dobson. After leading the Canadian women’s Olympics soccer team to a historic bronze Olympics medal during the recent London Olympics, Sincliar was chosen to carry the Canadian flag during the closing ceremony. The seven-time Canadian female player of the year has 189 caps for the Canadian national team in international engagements. She’s scored a staggering 143 goals in international competitions and is currently tied for second place with another great female player on the planet, American Abby Wambach. American soccer legend Mia Working on campus: allowed. Work a shitty job at Walmart for two weeks, and declare the income: deportation. It’s the reality that international students face in Canada. Those students placing their hopes in the hands of Jason Kenney, are going to need that church for a while. Here’s a timely Sixth Estate summary of what sort of person Kenney has been while in government (and prior to it). Kenney is into mass-deportations, but maybe he’ll help two women in Regina to make it seem as if he has a heart.

Boo-Frickety-Hoo! The players in the NHL are overpaid. Chasing a rubber disk around a rink should not be multi-millionaire territory. I’m thinking important occupations that improve our society should get the big bucks, you know like doctors, scientists,engineers, educators, social workers et cetera; occupations that make a difference.

Christine Sinclair, the captain of the bronze-winning Canadian women’s Olympics soccer team, is our choice to carry the flag during the closing ceremony of the London Olympics. That’s the word from Canadians. See the Twitter hashtag #SinclairForFlagBearer. I approve. By making Sinclair flag-bearer, Canada would honour both our gallant women’s soccer team and her personal achievements at the London Olympics and beyond. Soccer isn’t just about teamwork. It’s also about individuals: the coach, the team captain, and the individual player who brings something special to the team. Soccer is also leadership.

I think, in light of her Olympian performance, it deserves a repeat. Oh, and ignore my thoughts that Canada should go a long way in the Women’s World Cup… didn’t happen. I know I’m opening myself up for criticism, but women’s team sports, as a rule, is a pale shadow of men’s team sports.

Swill soccer player Michel Morganella got the boot yesterday for posting a racist message on Twitter insulting South Koreans after his team lost 2-1 to South Korea. But most of the mainstream media isn’t telling us what Morganella actually said. Only the New York Post seems to have the courage to report the exact words he wrote on the micro-blogging site: “I am going to batter the Koreans, burn them all… bunch of ‘trisos’.” Last week, Greece expelled triple . . . → Read More: Canadian Progressive World: London Olympics 2012: What the racist Swiss soccer player said

That’s right, our absentee head of state is the newest Bond girl. The Queen made her acting debut in the spectacular and humorous Bond sequence during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games. I think the Queen should take up acting. Here are my three reasons: First, the 86-year old is a bundle of untapped acting talent. The sequence’s director, Danny Boyle, agrees: “You don’t have to tell her something twice. She picks it up straight away, about cameras and angles. She is a good actor.” Second, acting would probably pacify hard-core Canadian critics of the British monarchy . . . → Read More: Canadian Progressive World: Queen Elizabeth II, Canada’s “Bond Girl” Shines At The 2012 London Olympics Mitch Alexander writes: What kind of council does the city of Regina have. You best believe that I won’t be going to that stadium. I think everyone should just boycott the new stadium indefinitely. It won’t be able to last if nobody goes… That’s not the best strategy Mitch. If the Riders don’t sell out, taxpayers are on the hook for the shortfall. Cheer harder for the Riders, because if they suck and no one goes, Regina taxpayers will hurt most of all.
