Now I wasn't there to view the fray, but it seems to me that if there were only 3 Canuckians then that is all there should have been on that team,,, and,,,, that the 3 Canuckians would have easily matched the 4 Americans at their game. Nothing sad about the American imposter, but I could think that he might well have thrown the game, just so that his counter-conspirators could hold their flag high.

On the other hand, why would the peace loving Canuckians want to go to a foreign country and disturb the peace by upsetting the whole apple cart and taking the flag back to a much northern location. In retrospect it might have caused a flap, a big flap, a mighty big flap, and more work for the Canuckian foreign minister of international flapitionians.

I think as it turned out, what happened, and happened for a good reason. We are presently still at peace, we got back over the dividing line safely and none of the higher-ups are any the wiser. We didn't have any overworked ministers or others taraffing each other. Had it been the other way around, who knows what it may have conspired to have meant. I for one am glad the Americans took the prize, now if they think they are real good at this maybe it's time to see if they can also do this on foreign soil, of course there would have to be a large enough contingent to be able to select from, or at least to fill the available foot holds, we would even be so nice as to let them bring their own impedimenta. We'll see how that works for the next round!!
