Someone loved family day weekend

Oh look, a politician working at stuff.

Seriously? Abbey Murphy running the Swedish goalie at 5-0? Then flopping at the redline. Hard to know which team is more loathsome; the American men’s team or the women’s team.

Really, European fans at US Hockey games should just chant “Don-ald Trump!” Ultimate troll job.

Tom WIlson losing a fight to France in the Olympics might be the funniest thing that was even possible.

My story about outdoor skating from today’s Star www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

It’s the Epstein Administration. No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting. H/T: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

Great chat with @davebidini.bsky.social today about the new Rheostatics album, sampling Gord Downie on The Drop Off, and his role in sparking the late-80s comeback of Stompin' Tom Connors. www.torontomike.com/2026/02/dave...

Anyone who thinks for reasons nobody can possibly understand that China will cancel the Stanley Cup (???) might enjoy reading @davebidini.bsky.social's excellent book "Tropic of Hockey."

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Whaddya wanna know?

Tomorrow @davebidini.bsky.social returns to Toronto Mike'd. Let me know if you have a question and/or comment for Dave!

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

Excited to announce a few Great Lakes/Rheos shows in next few weeks!

A hockey themed rhythm dance?!? God, I love Canada

Pluribus

Rooting for Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX & not just because I’m on the left coast! Let’s go!!!

I nominate Bad Bunny for the Nobel Peace Prize

That Bad Bunny performance was more pro-America than anything these MAGA assholes could’ve ever dreamed of pulling off. That felt good to watch.

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

lol

That. What art can do.

YES! It happened. (Briefly.)

I saw cardi b in there. Was that Pedro Pascal also dancing in the background? Or is my little brain just high on dopamine

CONCACAF TRIBUTE

So how’s Kid Rock doing?

Also, only love can conquer hate, according to Marvin Gaye

That entire Halftime special was a celebration of community, love, music, diversity and Puerto Rico and very deliberate middle finger to colonization and white supremacy.

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

this regime is unrelentingly evil

Unlike the USA, Canada has only one source of federal funding for archives, the DHCP: www.canada.ca/en/library-a... The Carney Liberal government just cut the DHCP permanently. I can't even begin to say how disgusted and angry I am. There is NO OTHER SOURCE of program funding for archives.
