re Alberta Premier Smith:

"I'll say this for premier Smith," Eby said. "She's an incredible advocate, because you would never guess that there is no private proponent, there is no money, there's no project, there's no support from First Nations along the coast. In fact, nobody's talked to them."

Pollster Nik Nanos after the debate: "I don’t think a policy platform will turn things around because people aren’t voting based on platform. They are voting on who is best to manage the risks related to Donald Trump.” Well, that certainly covers my waterfront!

Heard someone refer to them as “President Beavis and Vice President Butthead” and I can’t stop liking this.

As usual Cathal Kelly nails it:
"If you’re good at it, it’s easy. If it’s not easy, you’re not good at it. Nobody says that to kids, but it would make more people happy.
"Sports is not full of especially hard workers. It’s full of genetic lottery winners who find sports easy."

Cathal Kelly in today's Globe. Even if you don't care for sports, that's brilliant.

"Because the worst thing about drugs in sports isn’t the cheating. It’s the grubbiness required to explain away the drugs. It creates a community populated by the gullible, run by liars.
If people wanted dim and mendacious, they’d skip Sports and head straight to the News section."
