Squad leads Nations Cup standings following Sunday's win and superb showing in Germany. Four highly competitive athletes, bombing down a 50-second ski run that seems tighter at times than your average grocery store aisle. Eight skis and poles being tossed wildly at times off triple rollers...

A hush seemed to fall over the building as the officials stepped on the ice for a final measurement that would determine whether Jennifer Jones or Heather Nedohin would go on to play the Gold Medal game and when all was said and done, it was millimeters that made the difference as Jennifer's...

Though I am sorry to hear that Andy Fantuz will no longer be with my Riders, I am happy to see that he has signed with my favorite Eastern team, the Hamilton Ti-Cats where he will be closer to his family and friends. Andy helped bring a Grey Cup home to Saskatchewan and I will always be...

I usually watch the Super Bowl just for the ads (I get all the US networks thus don't miss them by watching the game on a Canadian channel) as I find US football a little too under-entertaining compared to the Canadian game - just my opinion and granted it comes with bias. However, yesterday's...

For the first time since 2007 and battling back from injuries, the men's downhill ski team took Gold and Bronze at the Alpine Ski Championships in Chamonix, France and the winning didn't stop there. "Canada's men and women of winter, the same crew, pretty much, that made the nation giddy with...

Now this, this makes my mouth water - think you could send the leftovers???? :lol:

CBC, Global and CTV are all abuzz about the new 16-point statement of values released by the good burghers of Gatineau today. Apparently it covers everything from smelly cooking to bribery and a lot in between. There is much angst in the media and talk of paternalistic approach to new...
