Carolyn Parrish is at it again. Last year the Mississauga MP raised a ruckus by declaring "Damn Americans ... I hate those bastards." A few months ago she followed that up by calling Duyba "war-like" and expressed astonishment that he was re-elected. Now there's a stink because of a skit she
Just ten days ago, I thought winter had arrived. Although I had to drive 45 minutes North of the city to take this picture, there was a lot of snow on the ground and I was scraping my windshield in the morning. This week has been gorgeous. It was 10°
Our five game winning streak came to an end last night when the Manitoba Moose defeated the St. John's Maple Leafs 4-2 in the first hockey game ever to be played at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg. The MTS Centre is a bright, new 15,000+ seat, entertainment, sports and

It was one year ago today that I launched the Guest Blog Submission Page as part of this website. I'm a little surprised at how infrequently it's used. People seem to prefer using the confidential Contact Mike form instead of expressing themselves to a mass audience. If you have something
My brothers and I drafted The Dead Pool over four years ago, back in September of 2000. The rules were simple, select 15 living celebrities, 5 of whom are under the age of 40 and should the celebrity we selected pass away, we receive a score of 100 minus the

His current employers have an understandable issue with him using their airwaves to essentially advertise for the competition. I'm setting my VCR.
This time it's going to be different. He won't disappoint me again. I know he'll redeem himself this time and I'll be able to forgive him his past failures. The sensible thing to do would be to abandon this whole thing because I've been burned at least twice before. He's
The Federal Communications Commission has confirmed it received complaints about the uncensored broadcast of Oscar-winning war movie "Saving Private Ryan" on ABC-affiliated stations last week. Who would file complaints about blue language in such context? I am really, really, really at a loss for words here. "Saving Private Ryan" tells

The southern Chinese city of Guangzhou has announced plans to build the world's tallest tower. At 580-600 metres, the Guangzhou TV tower will surpass the CN Tower in Toronto which is the current record holder. That's it, my family is relocating to Guangzhou. It's all about the tower. It's always
We're heading to the Grey Cup for the first time since winning back-to-back Grey Cups in 1996 and 1997. The Argonauts knocked quarterback Anthony Calvillo out of the game early in the second half and picked off back-up Ted White three times in a 26-18 upset of Montreal in the
I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. Three are of the usual suspects doing the usual things and one is a snowy scene I captured last week.

That's 519 complete albums and 7885 songs. Check it out.
Periodically I like to check in on Sidney Crosby of the Rimouski Oceanic, the best prospect in hockey. Last night, Crosby set up four goals in the first period to power the Oceanic to a 7-3 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League victory over the Gatineau Olympiques. Crosby now has 51
Here come the Maple Leafs! Jean-Francois Racine turned aside 42 shots through regulation and overtime and four of five in the shootout as the St. John's Maple Leafs beat the Chicago Wolves 2-1 in American Hockey League play Saturday night to win their fifth in a row. Earlier in the
Remember what happened last year when the Argos went into Montreal for the East Division Championship? That's not going to happen this time. This time, it will be different. Despite the fact the Argonauts haven't defeated the Alouettes in an East Championship played in Montreal since 1946, I'm feeling good
I want to wish my Grandma a very happy 89th birthday. May the luck of the Irish possess you. May the devil fly off with your worries. May God bless you forever and ever.
The Incredibles: 9 out of 10. Here it comes....I'm gonna say it....get ready. The Incredibles is incredible. Please don't hate me for my inability to resist a line as cliché as that one. It just felt right. It's a great story, breathtaking animation and two of the best
