I posted this on FB, and one asshole posted back "They can keep their Socialized Medical care... I'd rather have a gold in hockey any day."

We are up against the dumbest people in the world.

1. I *love* the sign!

And the person can keep his gold medal. Perhaps he can sell it when he can't afford to go to the doctor.

2. We haven't "lost" anything.

See you on Sunday...

Should be a couple of great gold medal games, but we can't overlook Slovakia and Finland!

Oh, Canada: Four Olympic medals and a hockey win over Russia

Four more medals, a record-tying gold-medal haul and -- perhaps most importantly for Canadians -- a win over Russia in hockey has made Wednesday the most successful day for the host country at the 2010 Games.

Canada has caught up to the United States and Germany for the most gold medals at these Olympics with seven after the Canada-1 sled piloted by Calgary's Kaillie Humpheries slid into first in women's bobsled at the Whistler Sliding Centre.

The seven gold medals ties the most ever by Canada at Winter Olympics, first set in 2002 in Salt Lake City and equalled in Turin four years ago. With four more days of competition it will almost certainly be broken.

One of Canada's remaining gold-medal favourites, the men's hockey team, took a big step toward fulfilling their lofty expectations with a 7-3 win over Russia in the quarter-finals at Canada Hockey Place.

Canada led 4-1 after the first period, and increased the advantage to 6-1 early in the second. The win is the first for a Canadian team at the Olympics against the Russians or the Soviet Union since 1960.

6. terrific sign - and helps dispose of the rumor that the Canadians hate their healthcare

will not do away with it - the gop will continue to harp on it - but it helps.
