Hope you saw the "More Hockey! Less War! movement on the CBC TV morning show at 6:45AM outside the RBC arena yesterday. What I told our friends North of the border was: "The Canes won the Cup, but Canadians won the war. Canada's biggest export, hockey, made it past U.S. Homeland Security and invaded the American southland. It's taking root everywhere. As we Americans become more Canadian, we'll have less interventionist, preemptive wars. As hockey spreads, Bush's approval ratings continue to go down. Coincidence? I think not. The "More Hockey, Less War" movement might make it into the documentary "A Search for Meaning" about hockey fans that Simon Dekker from Alberta is doing. He filmed fans outside the RBC arena doing the "More Hockey! Less War! chant with some Oilers fans. We shall see if the movement makes it to the big Canadian screen.

What I told our friends North of the border was: “The Canes won the Cup, but Canadians won the war. Canada’s biggest export, hockey, made it past U.S. Homeland Security and invaded the American southland. It’s taking root everywhere. As we Americans become more Canadian, we’ll have less interventionist, preemptive wars. As hockey spreads, Bush’s approval ratings continue to go down.

Coincidence? I think not.

The “More Hockey, Less War” movement might make it into the documentary “A Search for Meaning” about hockey fans that Simon Dekker from Alberta is doing. He filmed fans outside the RBC arena doing the “More Hockey! Less War! chant with some Oilers fans.

We shall see if the movement makes it to the big Canadian screen. Here’s the link: http://www.soontba.com/asearch.....fault.html

Make hockey, not war. There is no stopping us now.

Less War!" movement was seen last night outside the RBC Center before Game 5 of the Finals. Oilers fans and Canes fans jointly held a sign that said: "Be more like Canada: Make hockey, not War." The sign had a maple leaf and a No W symbol. Authorities believe that this cooperation between rival tribes of hockey fans was incited by a certain group calling itself morehockeylesswar.org. Protesters were overheard talking about a More Hockey! Less War! North American virtual tour. Thank you for your support. The power of the “More Hockey!
