The last time the Riders were in the Grey Cup in 2013, I’m pretty sure that us dressing like this helped them win so we may have to do it again this weekend! 😉
I repeatedly hear people say some variation of: “You should only worry about things within your control”. I hear it at work. In politics. In the labour movement. In memes and Internet posts. As if saying it, somehow makes it true. I’m not sure if it comes out of the mental health/self-help movement. It might […]
My son and his girlfriend dressed up as zombies to hand out candy. But the funniest was one kid goes “Are you dressed up as Vomit People?”
Still one of my best “Creating Memories” dad moments. When he was little, Pace was massively into Batman. So I went out to Spirit of Halloween the night before Halloween and bought a Robin costume which I wore to work then messaged Shea to send Pace out to the street in costume when I got […]

I have already and will continue to benefit greatly from the sale of that land while Indigenous people continue to fight […]
I’ve been heavily involved in a variety of major changes for those I love most in the past three years – my mom is now in a care home because of her dementia, my dad has finished the sale of the last quarter of land from the farm that’s been in our family since 1883 […]
