Canada’s Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, in their third Olympics together, finally get their moment.
With a memorable free dance, a season’s best score, Piper and Paul have won Olympic bronze. What moment for them.

Less than 30 seconds ago my kid (who is home sick from school with a cold) told me “I just can’t close my eyes with this cold.” Now she’s asleep. Pray this mid day nap doesn’t ruin bedtime for us

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.
This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.
Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports.
Perhaps we shouldn't be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics...
