Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s 5th home run of the postseason gives the #BlueJays a 6-2 lead.

That's a new record for the most HR in a postseason by a Jays hitter.

He's the best hitter in baseball right now.

Vladdy grand slam, Varsho a single short of the cycle, Yesavage with a Blue Jays #TOTHECORE record for post-season Ks. What more can we ask for?

Hi. A personal column this week. Pope Francis’s death got me thinking about Catholic school & whether Ontario should fund them at all. Flags are a small symbol but miracles to my Gen X eyes. Life would have been different if they flew when I was in Catholic school.

Please read & share.
Shawn Micallef: As Pope Francis’s successor is chosen, it’s worth asking this question about Ontario’s Catholic schools
There are good reasons why the flying of the Pride flag outside schools matters.

338Canada has the Liberals in majority territory now based on current polls. Is this just a Carney bump? Or will it last?

Glad Catherine McKenna wrote this. The federal Liberals were clearly unwilling to crash what is essentially a petrostate economy, with some naiveté or something like it built in, and so tried to find a middle path. There probably isn't one. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
