Just heard a weird comment from Ron MacLean at the Sochi Olympics. In discussing the multiple possible playoff seedings for Finland and Team Canada, he ended it with (and I paraphrase) 'I believe Justin Trudeau replaces Stephen Harper' to a couple of chuckles from Hrudey and Friedman.
I had to PVR it just to make sure I didn't miss what I heard.
It may be innocuous on MacLean's part (then again, I'm sure plenty of people are buying the Trudeau kool-aid) but it was enough for me to wonder 'what the fuck was that?'
At the risk of reading too much into a simple comment, I must at least make a point.
See, the line goes the CBC is supposed to unite Canadians from coast to coast. With comments like that, you get a possible glimpse of where its employees lie on the political spectrum and that's not cool with me.
I listen to Ron MacLean for hockey. Not political quips.
I don't want to hear a fucking hint of politics from a public broadcaster let alone it coming from sports commentators.
I'm gonna go easy on them.
This time.
