A lot of people are pumped about Canada’s face-off with Team USA in today’s women’s hockey final and tomorrow’s men’s semifinal, but the countries’ respective leaders have decided to make the battles really interesting: https://twitter.com/pmharper/status/436517440106012672

Heh. Whose country will ultimately triumph is a big question, but this might be an even bigger one:
