also the US curling effort seems to involve cute blonde sisters somehow

From a Associated Press overview piece on Olympic curling from the NBC Olympics website:

Although popular in Scotland, which claims to have invented curling, and in Canada, which claims to have invented ice, curling remains on the fringe in the United States.

Editors? Editors?

Are you trying to say that Canada didn't invent ice?

The only reasonable explanation I've got for that is:

and in Canada, which claims to have invented ice hockey,

But I still haven't figured out what that would have to do with curling.

to my american southwestern eye it didn't seem all that outrageous that Canada might have, at some point, claimed to invent ice. i mean, isn't the entire place covered in it? and moose? :)

It's all moose in ice, like MASTODONS.
