Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

Electric night at game 6 at the Rogers centre as the #BlueJays take game 6, 6-2 and force game Monday.

Went to the game with the same buddy I went to game 6 of the ALCS in 1992 when we beat the As for our first AL pennant.

In Hughes and Gorton we trust!
Canadiens sign Lane Hutson to eight-year, US$70.8-million contract extension
It's a good deal for both sides, with the defenceman earning an average of US$8.85M per season under a contract that kicks in next season.

Canadian health care story:
Last week I went to get checked for a hernia. Yesterday I had an ultrasound. Today my dr phoned me and will refer me to a specialist.
He also said he read my file and I am overdue for a colonoscopy so he is going to refer that too.

All paid for with taxes.

No wonder tourism keeps plunging in the U.S. Customs drive visitors away while small businesses that depend on tourism beg for their return. #cdnpoli That being said, stop visiting this increasingly violent place.

Jack Todd of the Montreal Gazette has the "right take" on the "wrong moves" by the #cfl in his Monday column. It's mostly about the CFL rule changes.
