Good advice from an ophthalmologist Dr Glaucoflecken (I know - still not sure it's a real name) on what to do if you get tear-gassed.

Looking at you, #Minnesota Warriors for Democracy & Justice!

Also #Minneapolis. Y'all know we always got you, right?

Peace & love!

Very sad. I grew up with Catherine. SCTV was a staple when I was a teen. Then Home Alone - still watch it every year. Then Schitts. This episode alone should have won her an Emmy. Brilliant. Lovely.

My column if you have a minute.
The Habs have a short-term problem in goal. Is it time to stay patient or time to deal?
