Lost Albertan doing an Applied Econ PhD at the University of Minnesota. I try to study the Economic History of Agriculture, and regularly get my heart broken by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Gen Z seems to have overwhelmingly become interested in the Edmund Fitzgerald.
I don't know what has motivated this trend, but I wholeheartedly support it and am now wondering if there's a way to motivate interest in the Franklin Expedition next.

This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

Been a Toronto sports fan for four decades and I think that’s the single most heart-breaking loss I’ve ever witnessed.

You’re up against the best team money can buy who rolled through last and this playoffs against whoever they faced and they pushed them to extra innings in game 7 with two hobbled starters & a bunch of guys who started in the minors.
They deserve all the respect.

True story, my wife was finishing up something in a video game when I came in to watch the World Series but then the Jays immediately hit those two home runs so now I apparently have to watch the game on my phone.

It is said that baseball is America's Pastime, but the first recorded baseball game in North American history happened north of their border.
It was way back in 1838 when two teams came together in a cow pasture near present-day Beachville, Ontario.
This is the story.

This is one case where being a boring economist helps.
Forget the list: *Donate money*
Food banks can turn it into food more efficiently than you can and also know what's needed better than even this list.

In a surprise twist, the Jays win despite Guerrero not being a major factor. The Jays win AND the Maple Leafs are still to blame!
What I’m saying is:
If the Jays lose this game, it’s the Maple Leafs fault.
If the Jays win this game, Vladimir Guerrero somehow faced not just the Mariners but the entire karmic history of the Toronto Maple Leafs and still won, which would be more impressive than anything Shohei Ohtani has done.
