My kindred spirit.
"Tigger & Eeyore" was my personal nickname for Lajoie & Lagha in juniors.
Love Kelly Ann’s hair down like this!! She needs to try a down style, works so well for her!
I’m not in Québec and watched it through the Radio-Canada app (Ici.Tou.TV). I see the ep available now in the free version.It's weird that the video is blocked for me even tho I'm in Cda and it's a CBC show
Maybe I have to pretend I'm in Quebec, or sign in to Radio-Canada even tho I'm already signed in to CBC.
We don't have "first ladies" in Canada but I'd be happy to make her Governor-General sometime after 2026.Deanna would be a lovely First Lady. She can even flirt her way to citizenship.
Thank you - the app worked. I don't speak French, but can understand enough to get the gist of it. Deanna was so open and lovely in her request for citizenship. There were moments Maxime said things that made everyone laugh and I wish I'd known what he was saying. I could easily understand Deanna as she speaks French the way I do lol, but huge kudos to her for learning it! What a force of nature she is. They both are
Just watched Deanna and Max on Tout le monde en parle. They both looked gorgeous and I never saw Deanna smile so much in a 10 minute span.
She spoke French mixing English in a very Montreal way. Maxime only had to help her once.
Following a question about her citizenship she said she would hate to have Maxime miss the Olympics because of her.
And she turned to the camera and asked Justin Trudeau to get things going for her in a lovely way.
TLMEP is huge in the province and I’m pretty sure D&M gained tons of Québécois supporters tonight, many who never even watched figure skating.
This is awesome - I need to watch the whole show now.
Maxime is a longtime Montreal Canadiens fan and said he was super happy to skate in the same amphitheater they play in. The host hit back with “you won more than them too”, the team is in disarray agin this year so laughter ensued.Thank you - the app worked.

The other laugh was about the host asking if a skating partnership offers the same challenges as a romantic relationship and Maxime enthusiastically said yes, that at the beginning it’s the honeymoon phase, then arguments arise.
The host asked: “how many years did the honeymoon phase last?” both Deanna and Maxime laughed saying “not years, months” pretty sure they were thinking “weeks” but chose to be generous.
In fact, he said he stopped taking medication in 5th grade, thanks to his teacher who gave him challenges to stay focused.Would like to add some Maxime content.
He’s open about discussing his ADHD, but did you know he started using meditation in the 5th grade to help him deal? His then teacher suggested it.
I was impressed and sorry the interviewer couldn’t dig deeper into his coping mechanisms and the effects on their training. I suspect the powers that be had no idea how interesting two older figure skaters could be.
Maybe next year.
Didn't Kaitlyn Weaver and Piper Gilles get their citizenships accelerated through some kind of "extraordinary abilities/contributions" clause? I'm guessing that Deanna must be a permanent resident and is trying to get her citizenship the same way that Weaver and Gilles did. Don't know anything about the specifics, however.
Piper was able to also use the Canadian citizenship path through her mother ( as I did for my kids ).
Okay, so it is a tight timeframe but if they did it for Kaitlyn it can be done.
Kaitlyn lives in New York so I'm sure all will be fine.Okay, so it is a tight timeframe but if they did it for Kaitlyn it can be done.
My only worry with their process is it is so obvious Deanna is back on a plane to the US the moment those 2026 Games are done. So it's a matter of getting the right people along in the process who don't care and don't ask certain questions
What I meant is Kaitlyn maintains ties working with Skate Canada in some capacity and was competing for Canada 10 years after she got her citizenshipKaitlyn lives in New York so I'm sure all will be fine.
whereas we that won't be the case here.
The only thing I have seen is "in the process of applying for Citizenship" which isn't very informative which is why I was curious.
Maybe Deanna wants to be the first 50 year old World Champion?What I meant is Kaitlyn maintains ties working with Skate Canada in some capacity and was competing for Canada 10 years after she got her citizenship
I suspect Russia will be back by thenMaybe Deanna wants to be the first 50 year old World Champion?
She didn't. Her mother was able to get it through her mother, but that didn't apply to Gilles. Someone here kindly explained this at the time.
