Throwback Thursday – Go Riders Go! (November 2013)

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! 😉

Wisdom Wednesday – The Agitator’s Prayer?

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.

What Is Roller Derby?

Other than Sasha’s new favourite sport???  

Throwback Thursday – “A Man Without Land Is Nothing” – Duddy Kravitz (August 2022)

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 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (February 2020)

Shea and I have done three or four day trips to Isla Mujeres when we’ve stayed at all-inclusives in the Cancun area over the years. And every time, we come home and say “That was the best part of our trip – we should stay there for our whole trip sometime!” Isla Mujeres is a […]
