My brother lives in Calgary and he and his family (two daughters, wife) went to go to those bars to watch the gold medal game this morning at 5AM. They couldn't get in because they were full -- at 5AM. So they went home to the couch/sofa/chesterfield (I'm unsure which word is proper American :-) ) .

Me? I stayed in bed and let my son occasionally tell me the score.... I didn't want to move to disturb the dogs.

That would be my home province of Alberta, whose premier announced this policy decision via tweet on Friday with no advance notice to the local constabulary. There was much swearing about who pays for the overtime for the extra Sunday morning shifts but overall it sounds like everyone behaved. Weather in the low -20s (at that point it doesn't really matter if you're talking F or C) probably helped.

(I have always found that Americans regard the term "premier" as slightly too soviet for their tastes.)

    I think I speak for all Americans when I remind you that we're two

    Then again, you have a provincial leader who allowed bars to serve
    at 5 AM this morning for the game, which, if it happened in this
    country, would be both brilliant and suicidal.
