Hmmm…he was a little too good in French…did he use technology to translate?

And bravo to the Shanghai emcee for translating the French speech.
I have been critical of this guy’s style but that was super well done. 👍🏼

I am pretty sure this Shanghai Surprise will be more entertaining than the original Shanghai Surprise…

Toronto/Montreal is probably the grubbiest master on the calendar. Everyone else is building/improving.

I give zero F about making year end final.
Peak at a 1000. That’s way more important than being # 8 by year end.

Finally catching up to the front just to have others catching up to you and blowing past you.
That’s tennis.

There aren’t too many chances to win a 1000 title…especially when the big guns are out.
What a waste…

The difference between living in Toronto vs Hong Kong.
And I did not deliberate ‘go out for a walk’ since arriving here almost a week ago. It just happened without me noticing.

To be fair, the local safety group and progressive commentators asked for this. Perhaps unintentionally, but they gave Ford the ammo to kill the cameras.

Carney emotionally recites Leonard Cohen: "Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There's a crack, a crack in everything. That's where the light gets in." In every moment where there's a crack, there is possibility. It's our opportunity as Canada in this moment to find it.

Perhaps Bibi should play some lower level events first? She needs lots of match plays at this point…
