An early final from the Canadian men’s curling championship: NB 10; NU
2. The foursome from Iqaluit hoped for an upset, but New Brunswick was
having Nunavut.
No it wouldn't. Nunavut - pronounced Noon-a-vut (rhymes with put) - is a relatively new territory in northern Canada. Sparsely populated with few curling facilities. So their representative in the championship is badly over-matched by even tier 2-level teams like New Brunswick.
When I looked up Iqaluit yesterday, my computer told me that I could fly there for about $2-grand and it would take 12 hours. Then I saw its location, almost to Greenland. So Chad's relatively close. He can take a curling vacation!
This would probably bother me if I knew anything about curling.

DeleteIt is very Northern. In the dead of winter, the sun doesn't come up.
DeleteIqaluit is loosely pronounced ee-cal-loo-it.
