The Grey Cup took place last Sunday night, and the Toronto Argonauts put away the Calgary Stampeders, 27-24. But, all the talk coming out of the event is not on the game itself. I mean, yeah – there are a few people suggesting maybe they shouldn’t play a game in Canada in late November. But, most of the talk surrounds Shania Twain and her amazingly ridiculous over the top entrance as she performed at the halftime show:

You know, everyone is making a big deal of this and calling it “the most Canadian thing ever,” but I don’t see it that way. That’s too easy. Let’s just look at this for what it is. A country megastar riding a dog sled.
That in and of itself is ridiculous. Her fancy, sparkly outfit, and she’s just crouched down on a dog sled as the good boys run across the field. Something about it just seemed unnatural. Like, you know she doesn’t look like the type to dabble in dogsledding. Just look at how she’s dressed! That’s not how you dress to get on a dog sled! And, as for the mounties, that’s just a police escort where we come from, folks.
I don’t think it’s cute to make fun of how Canadian this is. It’s more accurate to mock how preposterous the idea of a superstar riding a dog sled is.
I know it sounds like I hate this, but really I just hate the reaction to it. In my book, this is a genius move. Also, I don’t know why the WWE hasn’t incorporated this idea. Why not send Roman Reigns to the ring in a dog sled? Would be genius.
