BQ and Team Canada

We owe a thanks to the BQ and in particular to the xenophobic nationalist MP Luc Malo who pushed the Official Language committee to look at Shane Doan's leadership of Team Canada. As Rick Nash said on OTR yesterday the team came together in solidarity with Doan when he was attacked by the BQ.

Off The Record - May 16, 2007

Michael Landsberg goes Up Front with Blue Jackets and Team Canada star Rick Nash.

That is what happens when you challenge the leader, the people unite behind him despite their personal views of him, such was the case when the Americans attacked Saddam and Iraq.

In this case of course the team already supported Doan, and this parliamentary attack solidified it. They went on to not only win Gold but to sweep the World Cup 9-0. A historic fact itself.

Thank you Luc Malo for your inspiring the team.

Radio Canada Blog

Well I made it to the Radio Canada Blog with my Shane Doan story, blogger Philippe Schnobb says;

"Un blogueur Albertain fait de l'ironie en comparant l'affaire Doan à l'affaire Dreyfus qui a divisé la société Française au début du 20ième siècle. "

I am joined by a link to the Save Shane Doan Petition blog produced by Adam Sobkow and a link to the World Cup site.
