After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

OK, hear me out:
A "Carney's Anger Translator" video (à la Key & Peele's "Obama and his Anger Translator") featuring Jared Keeso as Shoresy (in the role of Prime Minister Carney's anger translator), translating Mr. Carney's speech from the WEF Conference in Davos earlier this week.

On this day in 1958, the Canadian Football League was formed with the merger of the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union ("The Big Four") and the Western Interprovincial Football Union. The CFL also took permanent possession of the Grey Cup at this point.

Trump's regime has murdered people in the water. He has seized ships on the high seas. He has invaded a country and kidnapped their leader.
All bets are off with the United States.
Canada needs to build alliances with Europe and to be ready on the home front.

Trump absolutely needs to be impeached and removed or hit with the 25th amendment. He will leave the entire world a smoldering ash heap if he's not checked immediately.

"Jumpin' Jake" or "Hurdlin' Herslow"...a question for the age.
Best of 2025
Toronto wide receiver Jake Herslow caught a pass, and leaped over Robert Priester as the Ottawa linebacker went for the tackle.

On Dec. 20, 1969, the Grey Cup was stolen from the Lansdowne Park Clubhouse only a month after the Ottawa Rough Riders won it.
It was held for ransom for months until the robbers left it in a locker at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
This is the story.

I'm not going to lie, it's been a tough one. Uncertainty about work, about family, about everything pushed me to the limit, and i'm not going to lie, there were times I wanted it to end and come to a grinding halt...
