New England's victory over Philadelphia on Sunday drew 3.1 million viewers on Global Television in Canada. Toronto's Grey Cup victory over B.C. in November drew 4.012 million viewers on CBC. It wasn't even close.
Canada's gold-medal hockey win over the United States at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics remains the Canadian sporting even ratings champ with more than 10 million English and French-language CBC viewers tuning in.
This is proof positive that Canadians still prefer Canadian events. All remains as it should.
