Glad to hear the Balcarres school backed off their initial ruling that a student’s “Got Land? Thank An Indian” hoodie was racist and/or offensive to let her continue to wear it. But I still think they made the wrong call in the first place to censor the student’s wardrobe choice. (As for the CBC commenter’s question, […]
Devin Cuddy is the son of Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy. Equally rootsy and catchy as his dad but young Cuddy’s music explores topics I don’t think his dad’s ever did… “My Son’s A Queer” – Devin Cuddy
I got Chris Hadfield’s “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth” as a Christmas gift and just finished it. That inspired me to revisit some of the videos he made on the International Space Station. How cool is this one? (And am I the only one who wonders how they ensure the little bubbles of […]
It’s a long documentary so let’s just say the short answer (at least in my view) is: yes! Given what day it is today, I can’t help but think about the fourteen female engineering students killed twenty-four years ago today. They weren’t murdered for religious reasons. But as part of my thoughts on this sad day […]
The Riders are already the third most successful team in terms of selling merchandise in Canada, behind only the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Laffs. That’s partly because there isn’t much you can’t buy without the Riders logo on it. The Riders’ unprecedented success can also be attributed to a significant expansion in products, thanks […]
Well, in the end, the Riders held on to win the Grey Cup yesterday in a game (and really an entire season) that felt pre-destined. The Grey Cup losses in 2009 & 2010, the Grey Cup being held in Regina for only the third time in its history (and last time at historic Taylor Field), […]
I couldn’t decide whether to write a blog post before or after the game. So I’m splitting the difference somewhat and writing this near the start of the fourth quarter with the Riders leading 31-16. The Riders dominated the first half but as we saw in 2009, you have to play 60 minutes or else […]
Just a few shots of our family enjoying the Riders over the past few years…
Lots of fun stuff happening during Grey Cup week in Regina as you might imagine. Here’s a few things I’ve come across… This montage of fan-submitted Grey Cup-related photos is pretty cool (and hypnotic!) Cool (literally!) weather advisory from Environment Canada from Environment Canada A local radio station is asking people to party like it’s 1989 (the […]
So this week marks the second time in my life that I’ve been living in a city that’s enjoying a run to the championship by a local professional sports team (the Blue Jays’ World Series victories in 1992 & 1993, though memorable, didn’t quite feel the same.) In 2004, Shea and I were in Calgary […]
