House of Hope stays in downtown #ldnont until 2027. What does more runway mean? How did we get it? Mayor Josh Morgan and Chris Moss of London Cares joined me on the podcast to discuss. Wide ranging conversation about homelessness in London. classicrock981.com/blogs/thecra...

If you're looking for a puzzle of the map of NHL teams from 2016 - Wal-Mart is the place to go!

Talked about this on the podcast, but this feels like provincial downloading. Province won't fund mental health/addictions care or housing? City feels the need to spend millions on special constables.

New Friday Round Table! Talked with @kellyelliottmcm.bsky.social and Steve Cordes about what's next for House of Hope, hiring special constables in #ldnont and weird looking developments near transit lines! classicrock981.com/blogs/thecra...

BREAKING: House of Hope stays open until March of 2027.

Daniel Alfredsson returning to Ottawa this fall:

PHOEBE BRIDGERS: and what *I'M* saying is that pre-snap motion has become such a staple of Shanahan Tree coaching schemes that modern defenses have fully adapted by filling any potential leverage gaps ANDY REID: (nodding while eating a big bowl of spaghetti)

What sort of person should we want making decisions at #ldnont city hall? Should it be somebody who faces - and has mocked/ignored - over a dozen allegations of misconduct? The latest Craig Needles Podcast. classicrock981.com/blogs/thecra...

Hosting for the Majors tonight at Labatt Park. Seeing Yasiel Puig on 1B in London is... bizarre.

Happy 54th birthday to Carlos Delgado, who, in addition to being a helluva slugger, took a brave and morally-correct stance against the Iraq War in 2004, earning him boos and derision and threats. "Athletes, who have this platform where they can reach millions of people, should use it." - Delgado

Look, it's a messy construction season in #ldnont. Lots of projects that are hard to avoid without driving into other road work. But it'll get better soon. Jennie Dann from the city joined me on the podcast to explain. classicrock981.com/blogs/2026/0...

Friday Round Table! @caroldyck.bsky.social (Dr. Carol, to you... congratulations), Nathan Caranci and I look at the new #ldnont downtown plan that council got this week. Plus... what does the LHSC's future look like with a board in place? classicrock981.com/blogs/thecra...

Travel scandals, insider deals, lawsuits, criminal investigations - it has been a messy run for LHSC, but they're turning the page. Supervisor David Musyj joined me to talk about the new board, shocking oversight failures and what's next. #ldnont open.spotify.com/episode/1xOC...

Should we put Cyle Larin on Canadian currency?

Weird how the same media ready to coronate Mitch Marner had Vegas won, has given us no quotes from Vegas' highest paid player now that they've lost. Almost like they lost interest once they could no longer troll Leafs fans

If anyone likes fun hockey nostalgia as much as I do... Here's Stanley Cup winning AGM Tyler Dellow debating hockey with Steve Simmons on TSN radio on 2014. (Via @jfreshhockey.bsky.social) web.archive.org/web/20140720...

Was the difference in the series Brind'Amour being willing to change goalies while Tortotella was not?

The Edmonton media when Tyler Dellow's name goes on the Stanley Cup:

The best contact hitter on your roster. Basically the only guy on the team that has a chance at taking a swing in the all-star game. The pitcher has walked two guys in a row. The last one on four pitches. And you BUNT? Inexcusable. Moronic.

What a way to play an inning.

I'm 90% sure that Cyclone Taylor was made up by @matttomic.bsky.social

New Friday Round Table! @jeffpreston.bsky.social, Cheryl Miller and I talked about the House of Hope closure and who is *actually* responsible for it. Then, the Big City Mayors ask the feds for cash to aid downtown cores and the #ldnont rat issue is ba classicrock981.com/blogs/thecra...

Seeing Mitch Marner succeed doesn't bug me. Seeing Brett Howden succeed absolutely does.

I'm skeptical about John Chayka and whether the MLSE current set-up can foster a winner. But I'd say firing Craig Berube and hiring Judd Brackett (if that's the case) would be 2/2 on good calls in the Chayka-era.

My neighbour messaged my wife to ask if I had burned myself on on the BBQ. No, I just went outside to yell profanity.

The Varland usage was correct. Jeff Hoffman needed to be out of the game the second Jackson Holliday's single reached the outfield grass.

I hope Austin Voth doesn't mind Buffalo.

No radio and no podcast for me today. Emceeing the LHBA's Constructor's Cup - raising money for Homes for Heroes!

Everything in this post is true - and it comes on the heels of Chris Cuthbert kinda butchering the OT winner call in Montreal last night. Gord out here nailing it with a higher degree of difficulty.

Texier is scoring the winner in OT, right? This Canadiens playoff run has been *so* juiced by good fortune that a guy who should have been ejected getting the OT winner seems natural.

To me, that should be a five and a game. You spear a guy in the nads and that's it for you for the evening

A Dad from my son's baseball team went to the Jays game today. Told him he must be excited to see a generational starting pitcher. Turns out I was talking about Patrick Corbin.

Turns out lodged balls at the Rogers Centre make me very angry now. That'll probably never go away.

We're less than three weeks into this thing, and one #ldnont council race has already had a big change! Ward 4 candidate Tom Cull joined me to talk about *not* running against an incumbent, door knocking and big #ldnont issues. All powered by London Hydro. classicrock981.com/blogs/thecra...

Toronto police officers have been accused of the following things in 2026: - Assaulting a woman in Spain - Assisting organized crime - Illegally accessing a computer data base - Illegally accessing a computer data base (a different guy) At some point Demkiw has to go, right?

Victor Wembanyama is a space alien.

Susan Stevenson running for Mayor and a really, really bad planning decision at city hall. Those are the stories of the week on the Friday Round Table. #ldnont @kellyelliottmcm.bsky.social @jmccall54.bsky.social classicrock981.com/blogs/thecra...

Impressive card! lfpress.com/news/local-n...

Posted this on Facebook today, thought I'd add it here. Thoughts on Susan Stevenson running for Mayor of #ldnont. www.facebook.com/share/v/17kx...

Popped down to MSG for rock and roll church.

The Ontario Liberal Party:

I don't think there is a dumber political organization in the country than the Ontario Liberal Party.

Weekend listening! Had Shawn Lewis and Cheryl Miller at the Covent Garden Market to talk 2026 election issues, homelessness in #ldnont and LHSC lawsuit. #ldnont classicrock981.com/blogs/thecra...

I wish that hurricane just finished off this stupid stadium.

Holy shit, Gavin McKenna.

I think that's it for the Raptors, but impressive that they pushed this thing to the second half of fame seven without two starters for nearly half the series. It is, uh, not a good sign for Cleveland.

How the hell does Davis Schneider not take thay at bat?
