Good Talk: Canada Wins - Canada Wins!
6/19/202653 min
Sometimes sport can be such a nice distraction. Like last night. Canada's first-ever win in World Cup Soccer. And what a win, 6-0 in front of a home crowd in Vancouver.

Do they still think it pays off? Chantal and Bruce are here.

I mean, I'm, I'm sure, you know, Chantal, you probably took your kids to soccer. You're probably taking your grandkids to soccer. Bruce, you too. I know
