Justin Bieber...touts Canada's Health Care system! Greatest country in world!

 




When folks hear that I am from Canada, they shake their heads in disbelief.

"You have free Health care in your country. Why are you residing in the United States?"

True, the benefits in my native land are enviable, without doubt.

Even the "Bieb" - Pop Star Justin Bieber - brags about the country's medical system.

For example, in a recent Rolling Stone interview, Bieber was inclined to plug the Great White North.

"Here (in the U.S.) your whole life you're broke because of medical bills," he uttered up with a tinge of noticeable frustration.

Then, in the blink of a pretty eye, he touted his homeland.

"Canada is the best country in the world."

A naive perspective - but one which rings true - for the most part.

Until you make it in America - you'll remain a nobody essentially - unable to savor the spoils of International success.

Just remind Bieber, so he knows how fortunate he is - and, where his bread is buttered - eh?

Later!

Canada advances to World Junior semifinals

BUFFALO, N.Y. Casey Cizikas scored a tiebreaking goal at 17:28 of the second period as Canada overcame outstanding goaltending from Benjamin Conz to post a 4-1 victory over Switzerland in the quarter-finals of the world junior hockey championship on Sunday.
The victory put Canada into a semifinal showdown on Monday night with the host United States, the team that ended Canada's five-year winning run with an overtime victory in the final last year in Saskatoon.
"It's the U.S.," said Canadian coach Dave Cameron. "There will be a lot of emotion but at this stage of the tournament it comes down to how we play, regardless of the opponent."
Louis Leblanc scored 4:17 into the third to secure a win that gave Canada a 19-0 all-time record against Switzerland. Zack Kassian, back from a two-game suspension for a hit to the head, scored into an empty net with 1:59 to play.
Canada outshot the Swiss 50-22, including 23-7 in the first period, but saw Conz make several spectacular saves to keep his mostly overmatched team in the game.

Canada vs USA Preview - World Juniors Hockey Championship





Canada and the USA will meet on Monday in a semifinal match from Buffalo.
The Canadian Juniors have a clear challenge ahead of them on Monday as they will face the Team USA in the semifinals of the World Juniors Hockey Championship. The two teams met last year in the final with the Americans providing the stunning upset that saw Canada's run at the event stop at 5 straight titles.
Heading into tomorrow's game the American team, who are better rested as a result of their bye through the quarters, have an edge in the goaltending department. Canada's goaltending has been wishy-washy at the World Juniors this year although not every team has been able to expose that weakness.
