I found this kind of funny. from his Blog

Canada is a fantastic place and I will never-ever say one negative thing about our country. Never. Are there challenges? Of course.

I bet if Bonner was still here he would have been a citizen by now. I could see him saying "I'd be damned if Chuck becomes Canadian before me! I'm the Red Rocket!"

I find it funny that American executives/older sports personnel with families take to Canada glowingly (ie Grunwald taking a Toronto Board of Trade job and staying here after getting canned, Butch Carter making his digs in Oakville after getting canned, and now Swirsk making himself a Canadian citizen), whereas *some* players, not all, but the AD's and Christie's would do nothing but piss and moan about being up here like they were lost aliens in space. Good show Swirsk. :clap:

Once people understand that if you plug into MLSE, you can make a boatload of cash in this city.
