Hey, I'm here now too - might as well plug my charity work! Our #dominicstrong team has raised more than CDN$350,000 for the Alberta Children's Hospital via Extra Life since my son was diagnosed with leukemia in 2013. He died in 2015 so this is how my wife and I parent him.
Game day Nov. 2-3!
Game day Nov. 2-3!

Boy that was a long day, and the late-night blog post shows it. Such a range of emotions that day, but I look back on it now as a happy one because damn it, we made it there.

Ten years ago we packed up a full box of medications, picked up oxygen tanks and giant batteries you'd normally never be allowed to have on a plane, and set out our wish trip shirts which we'd been assured would get us special treatment.

Unfortunate bit of timing as Poilievre’s line that the Conservatives held the Liberals and NDP to too few seats to form a majority collation was delivered just as the ticker at the bottom of the screen showed their combined total moving to 172.
