The offseason feels like it's going to end how the season ended for the #BlueJays. They accomplished a lot, but you still walk away disappointed.

Roughly $110 Canadian if my currency guestimation is right. Canada's a huge country, but what if we could do this for Ontario?

"That is just weird." A mysterious black smoke ring was spotted by a motorcyclist over Kansas on Monday.
While no one has a definitive answer for this particular event, most smoke rings have turned out to be man-made.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice.
He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama.
It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
