In a province where we take pride in our large roadside attractions, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan has long prided itself on having the world’s largest moose. Except that a few years ago, those dirty bastard Norwegians have raised the ante(lers) by erecting a moose statue that is Max the Moose (by 31 cm) compared to Moose Jaw’s […]
One of the most common questions I hear when we tell people we’ve gone to Mexico multiple times over the years (and are going again this year) is, “Is it safe?” It seems there are daily news stories about drug cartels’ influence on the highest levels of government and horror stories of mass shootings with these […]
God, the Flames are so much fun to watch this year, in large part due to this guy who’s now getting consideration for the Hart Trophy! (In completely unrelated news, we went skating at the local outdoor rink today and I got my ass handed to me by a bunch of 12 year olds doing […]
I’m always conscious that these videos are as much about marketing as any sort of true holiday sentiment. But they *are* well-done so it’s been a bit of a minor Christmas tradition for me ot post these videos since they are usually pretty heartwarming. Here’s WestJet’s 2018 version…

We have lots of official (and many unofficial – Halloween anyone?) holidays in our society. So I thought it might be an interesting thought experiment to try to rank them in terms of how important they are to me. Obvious disclaimer – how people feel about holidays depends on so many different factors – if […]
The greatest hockey video game of all-time is 25 years old with a still active fan base. Here’s the 2017/2018 Stanley Cup final as seen through the lens of NHL ’94:
This song is probably my current favourite on Colter Wall’s new album and I also like that the clip I’m posting features Brad Wall’s son joking about smoking a big joint. 😉 I wont’t be blazing any icky…sticky, dank or otherwise. But thanks for thinking of me…..bud. https://t.co/lDkWL2rMeT — Brad Wall (@BradWall306) October 16, 2018 […]
