Morty's Pub

Barbra Streisand’s tribute to Robert Redford literally brought me to tears. I did not expect her to break out into song but when she did, it totally broke me. This has been an exceptionally emotional #Oscar night but done with absolute class & thoughtfulness. What a moment.

@SteveHartmanCBS Congratulations on your well-deserved oscar

For decades, Don Cherry has celebrated hockey, honoured veterans, and said what millions think — without apology. I am nominating Don Cherry for the Order of Canada. I want to show the Governor General how many Canadians support Grapes. Sign if you do! conservative.ca/cpc/appoint-do…

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces. But I see everything. Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments. One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?" "6:15," he said, confused. "Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it." He blinked. "You... you can do that?" "I can now," I said. Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?" "Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing." He cried. Right there in the parking lot. Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic. But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!" "Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel." He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us." The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over." Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it. But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note, "Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends" People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket. I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece." So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones. Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees. It's not glamorous. But it's everything." Let this story reach more hearts.... Credit: Mary Nelson

@IvankaNews_ 28

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Hon. Ken Dryden, a Canadian hockey legend and hall of famer, public servant and inspiration. He was a 6-time Stanley Cup Champion, 5-time Vezina trophy winner, Minister of Social Development, and dedicated Parliamentarian. Ken Dryden was the reason I became a goalie, although I never mastered his ability to lean on his stick let alone keep the puck out of the net. His return to university at the height of his playing career taught the importance of balance in life. His post-hockey career demonstrated the value of public service. Few Canadians have given more, or stood taller, for our country. Ken Dryden was Big Canada. And he was Best Canada. Rest in peace.

@TigerWoods Wishing you a speedy and healthy revovery sir.

As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured. This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon. "The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery," added Dr. Stucken. I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support.

@StaceyMonette27 @CFIB Off the chart arrogance. Don’t hire this idiot when he needs a job next year.

@CFIB Someone should tell the Minister of Morons.

Think that the GST/HST holiday will be a breeze for small businesses to implement? 2 of these Lego sets will be GST free on Dec 14 and 2 won’t be. I’m not joking. Toy and hobby stores often have several thousand items each and no systems change or AI tool will allow anything other than the merchant sorting through each item to make judgement calls with 2 weeks notice at their busiest time.

@Poleconomist @CFIB Rob, it is going to be difficult to explain to our guests that a vodka & soda has HST but a bottle of Coors Light doesn’t. A conversation we would rather not have, since it is ridiculous that drinks with the same alcohol per volume are taxed differently. Not well thought out.

@CFIB What was the sample size of your survey?

The GST/HST announcement has gone over poorly among small business owners. Even I was surprised by how negative the reaction has been - including among businesses that some would think would be potential beneficiaries. - 52% of small restaurants oppose the holiday (32% support) - 59% of small retailers oppose the holiday (28% support it) - 62% of all those who are required to implement the holiday oppose it (25% support it)

@MikeHoganArgos Hello, old friend. Nothing would go better with this than a Vanier Cup & some wings 👊👊

So, #Argos fans, how is your night going? #GreyCup

@encryped_user Hope to see you soon!

Trudeau wants to tax farmers like Leisure Farms in a food crisis. WACKO. Common sense Conservatives will axe the tax to bring home lower prices for farmers & Canadians: conservative.ca/cpc/axe-the-ta…

@BhimasWarung He was a great guy who was always smiling. ❤️👊😀

@wealthy_barber We can hardly wait!!

And so it begins! 36 years after the original, finally doing a full update to "The Wealthy Barber." Finished the outline this morning. Still working on the same card table as 1988! I think you'll really enjoy the changes (yes, I'm biased). Note the BlackBerry!
