My book Habs Nation has made it on to the CBC list of 'The best Canadian nonfiction of 2025'. This is beyond cool. I mean Margaret Atwood's latest book is on the same short list.

I find it supremely ironic that as an atheist I’ve spent the better part of a decade writing in defence of Quebecers’ religious beliefs and their right to freely practise their faith.

The Habs don’t have the depth to make up the injuries and now everyone is out of slot. Bolduc isn’t a first liner, the bottom six has no sauce, Struble is dragging down Hutson.

📀 Big Shiny Tunes 2 turns 27 today. The greatest compilation ever. Period.
It rewired Canadian music culture and became the soundtrack of a generation. If you were a kid in the late 90's, this CD lived in your Discman, your older sibling's car, and probably at every house party coast to coast.
