My imagination can’t come up with anything so disgusting they wouldn’t find a way to make it seem all right. Snatching babies out of strollers, tossing them in the air and shooting them like a clay pigeon? I dunno. Maybe even that wouldn’t do it.

Ditto for me.

Damn straight. TSN makes me sick with this bootlicking crap. This. Is. Canada. I don’t care who wins the Italian university soccer title (if there is such a thing). Why would I be interested in the U.S. college football championship?

The best part is this: Nik Ehlers is from Denmark.

A journalism instructor of mine back in the ‘90s believed passive voice was useful in such instances; he thought active voice was overly brutal and harsh for describing tragedies.
“Bob was struck by a car” vs “A car ran over Bob.”
I never followed his advice, mind you, but I’ve always remembered it.

He played half a period, so technically he absolutely does count. 🤷‍♂️

Now I want to find out what duck on a rock is. 🦆 🪨 Probably more fun than watching the Maple Leafs these days.

I was surprised to learn there are only 4 of them left: Matthews, Nylander, Reilly and Tavares. I imagine a fire sale would net a pretty good return – but we only want guys willing to chew glass for a Cup.

Also a member of the Penetanguishene Sports Hall of Fame, I should point out.

I’d love another family vacation at Disney World, but that possibility has been permanently scratched off my list. As in forever. Even after Trump is gone, America will remain a pariah state in my eyes.

I cringe to think of all the articles and headlines I wrote over my journalism career that contained phrases like “autistic man,” “blind woman” or “handicapped child.” In my defence, times were different when I graduated J-school.

I believe 50,000 is the approximate number of visitors Midland gets for the festival each year. The number of butter tarts sold is more like 300,000.
And, for the record, no to raisins, but yes to pecans.

Neat! You could ask the best curlers in the world to reproduce this rock layout and they’d probably fail.

I’m showing this to my mom, who inexplicably lives in Texas and wonders why I don’t visit anymore.

Exactly what I said to my tour guide today in Antigua.
(Yes, he brought up the subject after learning I’m from Canada.)

Omigawd… Oh my God… OH MY GOD!!!
Is there anything better than playoff baseball?

I’ve never seen a batter hit a pitcher right back after the previous batter was beaned. If it wasn’t impossibly difficult, I’d say it was on purpose.
