Well.
Sport Canada doesn't like our children competing.
Like so many things in Canada, government bureaucrats just can't help leaving things alone, and are bound and determined to create regulatory frameworks for everything you can imagine, including, now, youth sports.
As reported by the Winnipeg Free Press, under pressure of Sport Canada, the Manitoba Soccer Association will be outlawing score keeping for children 12 and under.
As reported in the Winnipeg Free Press, Sport Canada has told the Canadian Soccer Association and every other organized sport that they have three years to implement the goals of the Long Term Athlete Development program, or face consequences to their funding, Vergara said.
Goals like more practices and fewer games. And games that don't allow score keeping for pre-teenagers.
Really?
Just what Canada needs. More "participation ribbons".
I'm waiting for the day where our surgeons and civil engineers obtain degrees just because they "do their best".
Won't that be swell?

I couldn't agree with you more. Interesting that as a country with freedom of speech there are very few who choose to use their voice. Meanwhile, Canada withers away.
