Here’s the skinny on Austin Matthews. Dude already got blanketed by a Zamboni driver. That’s his legacy. An Olympic gold medal or a visit the WH doesn’t change that.
A Leafs Stanley Cup would.

PM Diefenbaker in 1967: "Macdonald and Cartier agreed in the British monarchical system."
"They opposed republicanism and what they called American domination."
