I need to look this over more closely. There's probably some good ideas in this budget. But the whole beer and gambling thing is honestly kind of embarrassing. And if lotto tix on the phone is more important to a majority of Ontarians than kids' class size we deserve what we get.
Budget opens up parks for drinking, bars allowed to open at 9 a.m., lotto tickets available on smartphones. Tailgating to be permitted along with advertising of "happy hours" and an end to all planned tax increases for beer and wine.

Look, Siakam played poorly in the bubble. He’s a terrific player and even better story. If you wanna complain about him as though he’s already failed because of one stumble, fine - that’s your right. But the problem isn’t Siakam. It’s the insane expectations of some sports fans.

I remember being a kid and listening to my dad on the air ( Q107 ). He cried as he reported that John Lennon was dead. I'll never forget the sadness. And my feeling of love for my dad, who almost never showed his pain, but did so on that day because he so treasured art and life.

Christmas Time can be hard on people. I've had some tough ones, that's for sure. So if you're missing someone, or you feel kind of blue for whatever reason please know you're not alone. We all feel it sometimes. May I recommend a shot of Bach. Or the Ramones.

I get that you want to be private about how you feel inside. Our pain is very personal, maybe the most personal thing we have. But I promise you, learning to talk to others ( and to ourselves ) about how we really feel, and why, is the first step toward healing.

If the Leafs lose, I think we’ll look at the Barrie deal as the thing that just did not work.
We can overrate Kadri’s value: cuz we love him. And Kerfoot is prob a little underrated. But Dubas had a job to bring somebody in on D. And that Barrie deal has been a bust.

The Raptors are my fav team, have been since 1995. And only rivalled by the 1985-93 Jays for emotional investment. Playoffs start today; and in all sincerity, as a grown-ass man who has plenty of other things to think about, I say: LET’S GO RAPTORS!
