I often quip that the only class that prepared me for business ownership was playing college baseball.
Augie Garrido perfectly sums up why here, and his words encapsulate why I’ve decided to devote my life to helping kids play at the next level.

@ChatWith_WJ My daughter was on the flight. WS1100. They landed at PHX at 7:00pm. Weren’t let
Off the plane until almost 9pm. No AC. No one allowed to stand, pets overheated on the plane. Really unacceptable

@WestJet what a joke
In Phoenix tonight. 2 hours on a plane in 35°heat on tarmac after landing. No AC. Babies screaming. Dogs crying. WTF

@MLB what a complete joke
The streaming is on the app. Pay for it and get nothing …..so much hate

@GrantFedorukPT @EdmontonOilers Same here Grant. I can barely get myself to pull the trigger on next seasons seats. Up 9.2% in 2 years. And some of the absolute worst hockey moves in the league ….

I’m not going to be paying for @EdmontonOilers playoff tickets this year? Prices just not even close to worth it.
Are you a season ticket holder … what’s your plan?

@RebelNewsOnline She is a pos. Just like most of them. Time for a complete cleanse of the House of Commons. Get real people

Floor-crossing MP Lori Idlout is even worse than we thought
Remember when Lori Idlout crossed the floor? Yeah, that was bad. Nunavut voters elected her as an NDP MP by just 41 votes. A handful of families changing their minds would’ve flipped the result.
Then she handed that seat to Mark Carney’s Liberals anyway. A quiet deal in Ottawa that erased the choice voters made.
But now we know more. It turns out Lori Idlout wasn’t just playing politics. She was also billing taxpayers for purchases from her own business.
House of Commons disclosures show four transactions in 2025 tied to her company, Carvings Nunavut, totalling about $1,756. That includes multiple smaller purchases and one larger one just under $1,400.
Only after media questions did she suddenly realize this was a problem.
Her explanation? It was an “error.” Right. Because apparently, running purchases from your own company through your parliamentary expense account just… happens.
And we’re supposed to believe this wasn’t noticed until reporters started asking questions?
She paid it back. But let’s be very clear about what that means: she didn’t stop — she got caught. Now zoom out because this is where the pattern matters.
Idlout’s own ethics disclosures show she has full ownership of Carvings Nunavut and full ownership of Nunavut Holdings. She’s also listed as a director in federal corporate records.
Long before this expense scandal broke, there were already serious questions about federal money flowing to companies connected to her interests and her household, including sole-sourced contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars while she was a sitting MP.
After all of that, she crosses the floor to join the very government that controls those contracts.
If you tried to design a textbook example of how public office and private interest can collide, you’d struggle to make it clearer than this.
As long as everything is technically within the rules — rules written by the same political class — nobody in power wants to pull the thread.
But Canadians aren’t stupid. They can see the sequence. Win as an NDP MP, have business interests tied to government money. Bill your own company through taxpayer expenses, call it an “error” after getting caught. Then cross the floor to the governing Liberals.
And the people of Nunavut are stuck with it.
If Lori Idlout thinks this is all above board if she truly believes she still has the confidence of Nunavut, then there’s a simple test: resign, run again as a Liberal and defend her record to voters.
Because right now, she’s holding a seat she didn’t win under the banner she’s serving.

To John Manley and @nationalpost:
Fuck you.
To write such a thing and publish it... I don't know from where you get the audacity to think that, let alone put that out into the world.
The piece of shit that you are trying to defend had 70 violations of federal and provincial trucking regulations (including falsification of records) 11 days prior to the Humboldt incident.
He shouldn't have been driving at all.
But instead he took 16 lives and injured 13 others.
To advocate that serving 4 years of an 8 year sentence (not long enough on both counts) means that he has "paid his debt to society" is the epitome of lunacy.
You should be required to read out your bullshit article in front of the families who are forever robbed of their young life.

Reintroducing myself before baseball starts!
I’m Sophie from London, UK. I’ve been a #BlueJays fan since 2015! My all-time favourite players are: George Springer, José Bautista and Joe Carter. My current favourite is Kevin Gausman.
I’m planning to be back in Toronto in July!

Carney "That's why our government is launching a new $2.3 billion electric vehicle affordability program."
"Canadians who purchase or lease a battery electric or fuel cell electric vehicle will receive up to $5,000 and up to $2,500 for plug in hybrids priced up to $50,000 to support the Canadian auto industry."
"This $50,000 cap will not apply to Canadian made EVs or Canadian made plug in hybrids."
There is only one electric vehicle made in Canada, the Dodge Charger Daytona. Dodge Charger Daytona electric coupe starts at approximately ($55k- 58k) for the R/T model, with the higher-performance Scat Pack reaching around ($80k-$86k) before fees
How much does the whole plan cost? And how is Carney's net-zero dream being paid for?
This sounds a lot like Trudeau EV 2.0
