Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

Good Talk: Canada Wins - Canada Wins!

Sometimes sport can be such a nice distraction. Like last night. Canada's first-ever win in World Cup Soccer. And what a win, 6-0 in front of a home crowd in Vancouver. Nice distraction for the PM, who was in attendance, after what some felt was a bended-knee performance for Donald Trump at the G7 in France. He wasn't alone. What was that all about? Do they still think it pays off?  Chantal and Bruce are here. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
