Canada gets to send 2 ladies to Worlds this year. It's men where we only have one spot.

And one of those times Nam missed the free was when he was sent over someone who actually qualified for Worlds (no matter how the decision was spun). Let's be honest. None of our Canadian men are that reliable. Nam is usually pretty consistent with the jumps, but it's never certain how he'll be...

Not to sound negative, but I'd actually be pretty impressed if Roman managed 11th, and I think he would be too (if there weren't Worlds spots on the line). Nam and Keegan have shown they are top-ten capable, but that's depending on how everyone skates. Roman's results will depend on if he gets...

So there will be zero surprises at the Oscars next month in the acting categories. I literally laughed out loud during Brad Pitt's speech when he mentioned that the role wasn't so hard, since it entailed getting high, taking his shirt off, and not getting on with his wife. Also, I kind of...

Michael Slipchuk's explanation. Is he bashing all non-Patrick Canadian men here as basically useless? Or is he saying they were only choosing one non-Patrick man to accompany him?

Oh my god that movie is absolute perfection. She was brilliant in that movie. I have to go with Madeleine Kahn in Blazing Saddles, Jean Hagen in Singin' in the Rain, Tom Hiddleston in all the Thor movies, and Hugh Grant in Paddington 2.

If going based on the GP series, I'd have the Canadian men ranked 1. Nam 2. Keegan and Roman After Canadians, I'd have them ranked for the season the same way they placed. There is no clear argument for sending Nam or Keegan over Roman. I understand why Skate Canada is doing a skate off, but...

Based on their instagram stories (I hope the link works), it looks like Keegan and Nam did an exhibition together to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, including Keegan doing a backflip over Nam. Hopefully they show it whenever the Gala airs.

And considering the backlash (and results) last time they sent Nam to Worlds over someone who beat him at Canadians... As much as I think Keegan or Nam would likely get better results at Worlds, there is no denying that Roman absolutely earned that spot. His win was by a huge margin and 100%...

Congratulations Roman! What a skate, and what a deserved win. Now, do they fill the only Worlds spot with the unpredictable/inconsistent champion who has never been to Worlds, yet won Canadians by a huge margin, or do they do a skate-off at Four Continents? I was cheering for Keegan to finally...

Do we think Skate Canada will give Gabby a chance? Doe Emily and Alison have the TES minimums? If they have them, I don't see them keeping Emily from going to Worlds, but it will be interesting to see what they do with the second spot.

Good skates by the top three! Just three points separating first and third. Best I've ever seen W/M skate (though they still don't excite me), and huge kudos to I/B. Too bad for the underrotation on the toe, but still huge improvement for her from past years. They skate so well together - they...

Awww, once again Nam and Keegan being so adorable together. Love their friendship being so much more important than their rivalry. And great skate from Roman too! Gonna be interesting tomorrow.

Keegan and Nam are the safe choices, but if Roman wins, he shouldn't be out of consideration, since he medalled at a GP event and Keegan didn't. I think that if Keegan or Nam wins, they'll get a direct pass to Worlds (unless it's within like 2 points). If Roman wins, I think they'll do a 4CC...

Don't forget Missing Link won animated film at the Globes, and got good reviews despite doing poorly at the box office. If Toy Story and Frozen split the vote, it could sneak in there. I think it will be Toy Story, though. I'm still waiting for the day that voice actors have a category at the...
