Canadians are always criticizing us Americans as violent people and they want to portrait themselves as peaceful, really? I saw some pictures of downtown Vancouver after the game between Boston and the Canucks and I wasn't sure if it was Canada or some place in South America.

Vancouver riots after hockey team loses
Normal Vancouver residents are feeling a little embarrassed after the city erupted into riots because a hometown sports team lost a game. After their hockey team lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, crowds went nuts and began rioting - smashing windows, burning cars, attacking the police (which they referred to as 'pigs'). That'll teach 'em! It looked no different than Greece. Ref. Source 7
After reading the last newsletter I thought someone in Canada was going to defend this but it must be too embarrassing to even show face at the moment. This reminded me of the LA riots.

Nope just a old tradition for the Nuts in Vancouver. They are way to over zealous and just seem to loose control, maybe it is the lake of sun during their rainy winters. Hmm could it be too many shrooms from the front lawn?
Never understood it but they sure to know how to trash their town.
