I thrilled to see our Team USA doing so well.
I am suprised to see Norway doing so well, and Russia is not the powerhouse she used to be at previous Winter Olympic Games.
Personally, I am happy to see Canada making a most respectable showing, after all, she is a strong ally of ours and The Winter Games are
being held on her soil.
Thanks WT. What has Canada done for us? They don't even fight in wars, right? We could use some help now. Educate this ole lady.

Canadian soldiers have been both fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan as Coaliton Forces with the United States all along. Many Canadian soldiers have
lost their lives in both conflicts. Just "google" this topic and you can see for yourself.
Canada is an ally, they are our neighbor. When Canadians seek entry into the USA, they do not invade through our borders, they go through Customs
with passports.
Both the USA and Canada predominately speak English, they are a democracy and they are a trading partner of ours.
Would you not agree it is better to have Canada above us -vs- China, Russia or Iraq and Afghanistan?
We take the Canadians for granted. They are our friends, and we need to be mindful of this.
