Music Monday – “Everywhere I go/People know this place/The pride that we all show/Is visible from space” #riders #clf #greycup

Well, that didn’t take long… Somebody already has a photo slideshow up on YouTube in tribute to the Riders winning the Western Final yesterday against the Stamps, set to the song “Paint The Whole World Green” by Jason Plumb and the Willing. Leading up to the Grey Cup game next Sunday, this town is going to […]

Spoiler Alert! (Hint: Green Is Going Grey) #riders #greycup #yqr

I had to work today so had set the PVR to record the Riders vs. Stamps Western Final CFL game.  I also strategized how to not accidentally hear the score before I got home – no glimpses at Facebook on my smartphone, no checking Twitter at my break, only trying to make the most  generic […]

How To Not Give A Fuck

An illustrated guide to not giving a fuck…

Will Kids Be Playing Kronum in the Schoolyard in 50 Years Instead of Soccer or Basketball?

Kronum is a new sport that combines elements of football, rugby, basketball, handball and even Quidditch to create what players are hoping grows to become the first big league sport created in over a century.

Music Monday – “You that never done nothin’/But build to destroy/You play with my world/Like it’s your little toy”

Red poppy or white poppy, hero or victim, holiday or not, the only thing that’s clear is that Remembrance Day means different things to different people and, as with my defence of Justin Trudeau, I feel like shouting “Nobody has the right to say how others should or shouldn’t interpret/celebrate/commemorate Remembrance Day!” Well, except me.
