Curling Canada Needs to Fine Ben Hebert

Kevin Koe rink has won the Canadian Men's title which comes sponsorship, cresting, and funding from the government of Canada.  They are currently playing for the Player's Championship after already winning the Pinty's Cup with a prize of $75,000.  Not too bad. 

Curling is the gentleman's sport and it is also the sport that I chose to watch on a Sunday afternoon with my grandson.  I am sure there are families all over Canada watching this.  \\

Yet, for some reason, lead Ben Hebert doesn't think his life is blessed enough.  In the sixth end, he called out "Amateur hour on the ice.  Someone gets paid to make this shit." 

This is the second straight weekend he has said something like this.  What is wrong with him?  Is he that arrogant?  Does he not understand that our curling dues and our watching you on tv pays for your prize money?  Listen buddy, we all tired of your lack of class and self-control.  You need to be fined.  Not that it will make any difference to you, but it will make a positive difference to the game. 

If you really don't want to play on "amateur" ice, then there is a simple solution.  Stay home and watch on tv.  Better yet, keep your whole team at home.  No one will miss you.

    And that is the EXACT reason I do not like watching Team Koe
    The fact the TSN only showed Canada games was very disappointing - Did not watch much because it was Team Koe - If it was anyone else maybe I would have watched more.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but th...

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

Image
I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just w...

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second pic...
