Of course that’s even if there was a Canadian.
Now though, not only are we seeing Canadians thrive across the sports world from Tennis to Soccer to Basketball to Golf and more, their success doesn’t feel random but rather, expected.

Baldwin believes this is currently the greatest era of Canadian sports. Up next, he’ll convince you just why that is.
