Canadians, Pierre Berton writes, are not only a winter people but are also, by reputation, a wintry people, 'frosty of mien, cool of temperament, chilly of countenance ... not given to public displays of not emotion'-except at the hockey rink, when players bash each other and the crowd calls for blood. And that, he says, is just a part of the paradox of our most fascinating season.
