I think the problem is a lack of suggestions for what to call it. So far, 1.1 has been the best one.

What jbmcrock said...

Most of the countries with specially named top-tier leagues are following the lead of their nations' real-life top-tier leagues. Canada, of course, doesn't have one for basketball.

I'm ambivalent about using something like the "All Canadian", as in HT.

All Canadian is still better than 1.1 though

Or... how about we get in some suggestions? I'm sure the community could come up with something worth adopting.

Here's an honest question - do Canadians, in general, like, dislike, or don't care about the label "Great White North"?

Mostly I think we don't care in my part if the country. Not to sure what they think in the East. I'm fairly certain the label came from Canada in the first place so I don't think most people here really dislike it, but I might me wrong.

It is still a misconception, I think. Most of Canada has nothing to do with it...
Well, most of the populated Canada, not territorially speaking ;)

Offhand, I can't think of any terms for Canada or Canadians that Canadians generally take offense to.

Actually, I can now... but best not to get into it.

True, but I guess the question is: Do you care even if it is a misperception?

I don't, especially in light if the fact that there was still snow in my yard yesterday leftover from the blizzard a week ago :)

That's gross.

I live in New England and we've finally shed the snow.

I was going to suggest GWNL.
