Ongoing in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as Nova Scotia are the Labatt's and Keith's Tankards, respectively. The winners of these tournament go on to play at the Brier.
I've been following and rooting for Gushue in NL, and I believe he's 6-0 currently, with only one close game. He shouldn't have much of a problem.
In Nova Scotia I don't really have a favourite, but I've been watching Adams and Dacey. The format of the tournament is very different in NS compared to NL, where they have a round-robin tournament to start. The NS provincial finals are being held at the Halifax Curling Club which is just 2-3 blocks from where I live. Tonight Rebecca and I went down to check it out. We went late, but got there before the 5th end break. We saw Dacey and Adams play, and Colleen Jones showed up as a spectator. The club is significantly smaller than "the curling club" back home. We didn't stay very long because we didn't have seats (admission was free/unwatched), and it was hard to see past those who did. It also seemed like most the people there knew each other, so it wasn't particularly welcoming. Dacey ended up losing, so the favorite is now only 1 loss away from being kicked out.
