The CEO of IKEA was just elected Prime Minister in Sweden. He should have his cabinet together by the end of the weekend.

A rewarding two days in Ottawa at the Future of Sport in Canada Commission sessions. Many difficult and emotional discussions involving people all committed to making things better. Things need to improve. May a quest for perfect not get in the way of something better.

I’d been through so much. I was coming back to the game I loved after so much bad. I desperately wanted the fairytale ending. But I wasn’t Cinderella, just an ugly stepsister. I could not get my feet in those skates. And that’s as close as I ever got to hockey greatness. RIP Ken

I went to Tites’s office after classes. There they were. Ken Dryden’s skates. They were mine to have, wet then, stretch, them, keep them, do whatever I needed to. Just honor them - they hadn’t been used since he stepped of the ice in ‘79 at the Forum after winning the Cup. 3/x

I needed new skates, fast. Paul Titannic was our coach. He had an idea. He’d met a former NHL’er through coaching kids at his hockey school. He decided to call up his new friend and ask for a favour for a desperate tall goalie, former Ivy Leaguer, in law school. 2/x

Ken Dryden gave me his skates to use while I was in law school at the University of Toronto playing goal for the Varsity Blues. It was the Fall in 1987. I broke a skate. I’m 6’-7” and have size 15 or 16 feet, depending on brand of shoe. I wore custom skates. 1/2

I know that I'm on to something when I have people from both sides disagreeing with me. We live in a world of grey. Compromising to get to "better" isn't weakness.

There’s a prominent defence lawyer who advocates against longer sentencing. Yet when the convoy disrupted his life in Ottawa, all of a sudden sentences longer than those given to serial sex offenders are appropriate. Once it’s you, and not just theoretical, things get real, fast.

The most disappointing thing I’ve learned is that the number of people who just go along with things and don’t speak up when things are wrong is far, far bigger than it should be.

I don’t know why the former ED is no longer the lead executive at Hockey Manitoba. I do know that Hockey Manitoba never followed up with a formal inquiry into Graham James. I do know that was a missed opportunity to show leadership.

The annual Argo CNE Game with Damian and his grandpa (Steph’s dad). A great day with the good guys powering to a desperately needed win!

Executive compensation is out of control. There is a myth about the “must have” executive, executive talent, and value added. Most senior positions could be filled by thousands of qualified, talented individuals who would do the job for much less.

Imagine a world where the highest paid executives could make no more than 10x the lowest paid employees. I bet you’d see an increase in wages without any decrease in executive talent willing to work at the highest levels. Once the money is enough, it just becomes a marker.

Another great day at an Argos game with Steph and her dad. We love the CFL, but @LWillson_82 is right, the CFL and the Argos need to change the way they're selling the game or this will drift away. BMO was half empty. We're season ticket holders doing our best to support it.

I will never understand why something somebody says because they were asked to tell the truth should ever be excluded from evidence. But our legal system isn’t about finding truth, it’s about protecting the accused’s rights under the rules of the game. That game needs to change.

Consider a world where when it’s “he said, she said”, both she and he have to testify and must face a similar level of cross-examination.

I don’t know what did or didn’t happen. I have no idea whether it was the right or wrong decision because I wasn’t in the room that night and don’t know what happened, and nobody else does either. But I am genuinely concerned for E.M.’s well being coming out of this.

Hockey Canada has taken good steps to improve its culture. More needs to be done, but Hockey Canada should be applauded for moving in the right direction. Today’s decision doesn’t mean that that hockey culture doesn’t need to change so situations like this don’t happen.

Whatever the outcome, one thing is clear. There was a lack of character in that room. Nobody stepped up and said “I don’t care what she’s saying, this isn’t right, we should be better than this.” Even if there may have been consent, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Tomorrow will yield only a legal result. Not any truth, not justice, just the product of a process with rules that restrict what the state can do before potentially sanctioning an accused. Only those who were there know the truth, and even they themselves may not really know.
