Jeez, I put the wrong date up. It's February 28th kids. In Guelph. At The Guelph Little Theatre. A live album taping. Looking forward to seeing you.

If Marner had left Matthews open to score the winning goal, Leaf fans who hate him would have clamored for his being traded, yet they are silent when Matthews is the one in the crosshairs. Not saying Matthews isn't great. He is. I'm saying fans who hate Marner are lousy judges of hockey ability.

Still a few tickets available for the big show January 28th in Guelph, kids! Take the Go Train. Beat the traffic and the post Ontario election blues with comedy!

Thank Goodness the Swedish team had Nylander. Thank goodness the American team had Matthews. I'll still take Marner any day.

As my beautiful daughter put it so eloquently, "They sure went to a lot of trouble to prove Auston Matthews can't win in Boston." #4NationsCup #MarnerMultiPointGame

The Bad Piano Player Podcast has Season 6, Episode 3 on the platform. Ready for you to take your fortnightly deep dive. We feature the songs of (mostly) Ray Noble and the story of his longtime vocalist, Al Bowlly. Tune it up! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Nothing owns Liberals like voting against your own interests, being completely ignorant of history and utterly sure you know everything.

Oh dear, you say farmers have been played for suckers by Republicans? You forgot to say “AGAIN”.

The Heritage Foundation grew from ashes of the John Birch Society. The JBS published a pamphlet attacking Canada back in 1970. Co-founded by a JBS lecturer, Heritage simply rebranded discredited Bircher philosophy. The pamphlet reads like a transcript of a Joe Rogan podcast.

Yep. "Radical right populists are using misinformation as a tool to destabilise democracies and gain political advantage..." Far-right populists much more likely than the left to spread fake news – study www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f... Increasingly, misinformation lined to political identity.

In this 1629th episode of Toronto Mike'd, Mike chats with @johnwing5.bsky.social about his favourite Yuk Yuks comics of the early 80s, his recent health challenge, and Trumps threats to Canada before John recites Ralph Benmergui's stand-up from 40+ years ago. www.torontomike.com/2025/02/john...

Tomorrow @johnwing5.bsky.social returns to Toronto Mike'd

Why yes, children, that WAS Mitch Marner’s 55th assist and 71st point. Well done #MarnerPointWatch #GoLeafsGo

I asked my friend to pray for me this week, as I needed a good outcome. I prayed too. I called him and said "You apparently have a direct line to the Lord." And he replied, "Everyone has a direct line to the Lord. I just use mine more often than most people." Something to keep in mind.

Me and the fellas gonna misread the vibe later if you wanna pull up

The Bad Piano Player celebrates Fortnight Tuesday with an episode of 6 songs sung by Bing Crosby in two movies you've probably never heard of. All written by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel. A range of possibilities. Be there, or der Bingle-man will get you! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Wow! I retire from ships and within two days the job of Fentanyl Czar in Canada comes open. Seredipity-doooo!!!

Donald Trump, The Prince of Pizza, The Prince of A Piece, The Prince of Pay Me First.

Wha? Someone is going to get a stinging letter

Good morning, all. Song in my head this morning: The Peppermint Twist.

Of COURSE they were fucking scammed! They couldn't construct one full brain among them.

Marner’s 16th goal and 70th point gives the Leafs a 4-1 lead. #MarnerPointWatch

All due respect, Senator, Go fuck yourself and your ability to accomplish nothing.

Marner's 54th assist and 69th point came on Knies power-play goal that made it 2-0 Leafs. #MarnerPointWatch #GoLeafsGo

It's almost like politicians are willing to do anything to combat homelessness, except house people.

McIlroy and Lowry have both made aces on par threes today but, so far, not ONE announcer on @SkySportsGolf know the correct plural for "Hole-in-one" Not ONE.

One way or another Canada needs to offer safe haven to trans Americans. We’re not perfect here but The Canadian Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression and there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad coats.

Marner's 53rd assist and 68th point sets up McMann for the first Leaf goal. #MarnerPointWatch #GoLeafsGo

What a f****** golf shot by Sam Stevens. Pure courage. You're going to see him again this year.
