The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge · Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel? · 26 May 2026 podcast

Yeah, I agree with that, Peter.

And as a diehard Montreal Canadiens fan, I'm obviously thrilled to have all of you Leafs and Canucks and other Canadian teams fans on board.

Although I will say, I think the most recalcitrant are the Leafs.

That'll change, of course, if it's a Montreal-Vegas final, because the Leafs fans will be reacting in horror to the prospect of Mitch Marner winning the Conn Smythe and holding up

Yeah, and we talked a little bit about this during the Olympics, and we'll say no more about that.

But it's great to see the whole country get behind something and rib each other about it and joke about it and put aside our petty differences about our teams to all get behind one team.

And I think Montreal being...

Montreal, it's hard to explain to people who don't live in Montreal what that city is like when the Canadians are on a deep playoff run.

The last one was super weird because it was during COVID when they made the final.

But I'm dating myself here as usual.

But I was a lowly undergraduate university student the last time the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup.

And I remember experiencing what Montreal was like in the spring of 1993, thinking this must be the happiest place in the universe, right?

That nobody thinks ill of anybody else for any reason whatsoever.

And of course, within 18 months, we were in the middle of a referendum where we almost lost the country.

So things can change very quickly, and there's a good lesson there.

But I do think the whole country is behind the Canadians right now.

And

with the historic issue historical issues we've had on linguistic politics and quebec versus the rest of the country i think it's just great for the country it was one of what i thought was that maybe it's a function of my day job these days but when i saw emmanuel macron holding up tech

XCA jersey with the premier, the new premier of Quebec.

I thought it was, you know, that's a great moment because even when you think of our historical issues with Quebec and France, he has to hold, the president of France has to hold up a jersey where the team name is the Canadians.
