Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
Hockey? They play that on ice, don't they?
ReplyDeleteFreyr: YES SIR!! It is a blessing that the top nations in the world in the game of hockey hail from North America!! It's only natural that we would come out on top... just look at the map!! Summer Olympics belong to you. The games of ice and snow belong to us.
ReplyDeleteCanada is the best and most faithful friend that America will ever have; their single greatest source of imported energy and the largest source of fresh water in the world. In every major world conflict that follow our assumption of full sovereignty in striking an independent foreign policy from that of Great Britain, the blood of Canadians has mingled with that of Americans. World War I & II, Korea, and first Gulf War. From the ethnic conflicts of the Balkans and Africa - to Afghanistan and other covert actions in the war on terror, whenever asked, Canada has done its part. Our relationship is not one of neighbors. We're family, dude.
Pride in country is in no way an insult to either of our two nations both on and off the ice!
It was a great Olympics with all the essential trophies (Most overall medals - USA; Most EVER Gold medals at one winter Olympic - Canada) residing for at least the next four years on our continent.
Now if Mexico can win the World Cup, it would be the perfect continental trifecta!
May God continue to bless our nations!
