So I just skimmed through our 3 nationwide sports channels up here, they are currently televising 9 ball billiards, tennis and poker.
One of those is a sport, but painfully boring to watch. No wonder our society is getting so fat. Not only do they think playing cards is a sport, they are willing to spend hours watching others play cards on TV.

wow, and we think america has problems!
yeah i dont get watching people playing cards, especially when they just sit there like jabba the hut in sunglasses
I do enjoy watching a bit of poker now and then, but I'd much rather have some friends over and play for real. But never for money. I think that might be illegal.

Canadian sports are dangerous.
hockey and lacrosse, someone will hit you with a stick and/or knock your teeth out with their fists.
Curling, well, you still have a stick, and the ice is damn slippery. I imagine there are more than a few split skulls and busted hips.
Broomball (not sure if they still do that), you've got it all, heavy stick swinging around plus running on ice.
