Mike Madrid on the Ryder Cup, and us. open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

I enjoy reading the Dispatch, many of the articles are quite good ( so is this one) But then I run across a paragraph line this:

My Tuesday morning quarterback column on Monday afternoon. And a bit of news: My Saturday column will return this coming weekend (digital version Friday, print on Saturday) and run as long as the Habs are in the playoffs. (Until June, that is.) www.montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

I concur

Is this still the case? Alouettes and canadiens pay for airtime, but the blue jays get paid for the right to broadcast a game? ( I’m catching up on the expos)

The meme can’t be far behind. Next up WWE fights at parliament.

well that's prob how my brain will refer to him forever now :D

5 minutes- ok. How about 90 minutes waiting in a doctors office? Not once, but each time? I mentioned this to another doctor and stated “how about better planning/ scheduling. He said “a rather one sided opinion” He was right. Except- my appointments are generally the first of the day….. 1/x

Blue or white? - second shot of white shows the countertops for the contrast Blue is only one coat so not exactly what it would look like

Canadiens cut down to 34 players after 4-2 win over Maple Leafs

This Drummondville, Quebec rock band has released 8 studio albums, most recently in 2023. This 2005 single did well on the charts with its folk-rock sound. Number 857 of #1000Songs youtube.com/watch?v=zZU7...

How long before they’re armed? In WWI pilots didn’t carry any arms. They were “observers” photographing troop movements. Until one day a pilot thought- why let this enemy go back with his photos. He brought a gun with him and shot down enemy observers. The rest is history.

Terrible crime

Seriously

Tonight’s game- live camera and audio from another studio I guess before it cuts away Someone asks “if I can get Newhook do I ask him about Bergeron or will that p..?? on our story” What the heck is that all about?

That’s an item of international-relations terminology that may be obscure but provides a precise description of said individual

This Stewart Johnston tyrant who runs the CFL had signs confiscated last night carried by fans who oppose his radical changes to the league. Even "I'm with Nathan (Rourke)" was too much for Mr. Thin Skin because they referred to the QB who opposes Johnston's changes. Not a good look for the CFL.

It’s like that old commercial for tape “can you tell the difference, I can’t tell the difference” In this case - besides the name, whats the difference between MAGA and the CAQ?

It isn’t even Halloween yet- for Canadians , you’ve yet to celebrate thanksgiving

Fun fact I helped someone prepare a proposal to take Canada post to the next level so to speak/ this was after the fax machine but before email. Spent 2 months studying overnight shipping companies, media companies, parcel delivery companies. Collected all this data then spent a month helping 1/2

This particular model is 30 years past its due date.

Exactly

I have to ask- are you willing to pay $1.4 billion more this year just to balance the books? No- should the money come from somewhere else, say education, transportation, defense, health? No? So just keep piling debt and pay interest on it? - which by the way your taxes pay for.

Today I learned that “ballroom blitz” is based on an actual event. I still hate the song, and regret leaving Spotify after listening to Leonard Cohen and Silvia Perez Cruz in time to hear that song.

MLS, TSN, and local Media tonight during the second intermission (probably) “This is the year. We should start planning the Stanley Cup Parade through downtown Toronto”

If you were employed in a dying business, or represent the workers in that dying business- would you go on strike, or would you put more effort into making that business sustainable in the future? Every time you go on strike you lose customers. They go online to pay bills, send cards, etc.

Why? Why not change the cap? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/educa...

Maybe the best part of this is “met crazy Albanian guy” Can’t imagine how this all must feel to her…

Be pretty funny if Arber's jersey had "A. Xhekaj" on it and Florian's had "Another Xhekaj". #Habs Flyers saying "Aw fuck, Another Xhekaj."

When will reps realize that it will be easier to do the right thing if they made one simple change? The change? Stop lying to your constituents. That way for example, if you vote to save the ACA or USAID you and your constituents will know you made the right choice

PM Mark Carney quoting Leonard Cohen. We elected quite the leader A short from the Gazette - youtube.com/shorts/KVKms...

Cowan: Life is like a box of chocolates for Canadiens goalie Jakub Dobes

I don’t know what would happen at a normal UN meeting but 700 requests from heads of state and CEO’s to speak with PM Mark Carney seems extraordinary

Anyone else remember when “I don’t like Broccoli” was big news

I tried to watch this piers Morgan thing ( I don’t know what to call it) I lasted through the 3 minute opening. Based on what I’m seeing here, though, Piers achieved his goal. Turn everyone against each other.

Todd: On Canadiens fans’ hysteria and Canada’s brilliant run at the Women’s Rugby World Cup

Somebody needs to tell the CFL that if you're trying to sell stuff to Canadians these days, making it more American is maybe not the way to go.

A lot of fun reading here

Montreal’s Bernie Parent, who led Flyers to two Stanley Cups, dies at 80

Twister is > Twisters

The elbows up campaign is pretty - after watching the rugby game yesterday I think these three words used to describe the Canadian women better describes what we need to overcome the forces of fascism Dominant, Brilliant, Ruthless

Yesterday “we need to stand and fight back” Today …….

Same station (local PBS) So now it’s the tragically hip in concert. A mostly Canadian music scene tonight in Michigan - Austin city limits - then on to Alexander Zonjic to start the Canadian content, now the hip.
