Dany Heatley once bought a Nickelback CD from the record store I worked at in Ottawa, so.

the news about rick steves just breaks my heart.

considering how bobby hull usually interacts with women, i’d say she got off lightly.

so... where do you send someone deserving of punishment if they’re already in siberia? edmonton?

You’re bang on. For the broad, creamy centre-left of Canadians, Trudeau’s Castro remarks aren’t too offbase—they’ve been visiting Cuba for decades and have always held a much more nuanced vision of Cuban-American-Canadian relations than their american equivalents.

nope, it means nothing, really. just red and black, but stylized with the all caps to piss of copy editors across the country. hilariously, the university of ottawa’s team name is the GGs or Garnet and Greys, owing to their reddish and greyish team colours. and people have the gall to call ottawa boring!

while in high school in the early aughts, a bunch of my friends started a forum for photos, early “memes”, jokes, party planning, etc. basically, a proto-facebook that we all devoted far too much time to through grads 10-12.

as a lifelong packers fan, i’m quite happy to finally have the sundays of my december and january free of any sporting obligation for, like, maybe the second time of my life. it’s just plain miserable football to watch.

the jets vs sens stanley cup final is gonna be fantastic and the least watched sporting event in american history

i’m biased because i married a tica, but goddamn, do the san jose fans ever bring it. i mean, america sucks and all, but that environment couldn’t have helped. my mom-in-law works about a mile away from the stadium and said she could hear it rocking allllllll night long. vamos los ticos!!

This raises a question about how, practically, your average non-manufacturing, non-trades, non-public-sector employee goes about unionizing. For media types, it’s easy enough—join up with whatever print and paper shop is available for them. But where can low-level desk jockeys turn? Maybe it’s my ignorance, but there…

as a dak + dez fantasy haver, this is great news, but even better news is that romo looks like he just saw his son hit his first ever home run. adorable!
