At last count there are 16 teams playing the Briar. 10 provinces (ON 2),Wild Card, 3 territories, and team Canada. Why in hell do we need to (or want to) watch the two Ontario teams play on Friday night when most of us finally have a chance to sit back and watch? Coast to coast to coast and except for Ontario nobody needs or wants to watch those arrogant "we own the world" teams. I do not know who makes up the schedule there but if I am not mistaken this event runs the same way every single year. Thank you to the politicians, there are already open hostilities toward Ontario throughout the country and TSN is sure not helping to show otherwise.
BREAKING NEWS ONTARIO: YOU DO NOT OWN THE WORLD AND ARE NOT THE ONLY CURLING GAMES THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WANTS TO WATCH!!!!!
