Evil-Brain Ryan says that selection bias is rocking the house, there.
But the meta-point is, perhaps, that the naturalized citizens who chose
to play beat the Canadians-by-birth who chose to play.
Also, you can't judge a book, by its, er, color. But I deleted your joke
about that already. What I was going to say was that my friend E. Wong
is something like a 3rd-generation Canook on his paternal line, while my
father-in-law was fresh off the boat. Literally. He met my mother-in-law
at a Catholic Seaman's Association dance.
Hey, I didn't ask to be born Canadian,
