Hard to know what to make of things like this from a distance and
without sufficient details. It is the second seemingly odd piece of
news recently out of the north: "Lee Churchill Hired as Callaghan
Valley Training Centre Head Coach" (replaces Amy Caldwell, who was
summarily fired a couple of months ago).

Probably the greatest xc-skier in Canada, Alex Harvey has been pulled
out from the Canadian cross-country team and its funding because he
wants to stay and train at the (father's) Pierre Harvey National Ski
Centre located at Mont-Ste-Anne, QC, rather than training in the
Rockies (AB), 4 000 km away.
What a shame regarding the Cdn xc organization who does not understand
our elite needs and preferences. More than 50% of Cdn the cross-
country skiers live in QC, the xc-mecca in North America. No wonder
also why some Quebecers are ****ed at Canada...
