It was a blessing that Canadian politicians took a break over Christmas and the New Year holidays. It was refreshing not to hear complaints, criticism, political spin, and verbal beating on others.
And, last night, the victory of the Canadian men's under 20 hockey team at the World Junior Championships gave everyone a chance to be positive. The game was well-played, the enthusiasm of the young men almost contagious, and the patriotism palpable. What a great way to start 2009! Thanks to the athletes and all the support staff that assisted them through a long try-out period and training camp and training.
Let's hope that the litany of doom and gloom will be less, and politicians will realize how much we enjoyed their hiatus!
