As you know Kate Middleton, the wife of the heir to the heir to the Queen of England, is due to give birth any day now.



Christina Blizzard of The Toronto Sun reports that "A spokesman for the CN Tower announced Wednesday that the tower will light up pink or blue in celebration of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's new baby."

Cool that is very.

6210...Happy America Day!!!

Isn't that what they call it?

Whatever they call it July 4th is the big day for our Yankee friends.  Heck it is so big that Raymour and Flanagan are having their biggest sale ever.



Upworthy offers the above historical tribute to that not-so-bad country to the south of Soviet Canuckistan.

6209...Curler Caught Juicing

Yeah, I don't get it either but The National Post reports that Matt Dumontelle has been suspended for two years coz he tested positive for Methandienone Metabolites at the World's in Victoria earlier this year.

He is the dude on the far left.



Oy and very vey.

6208...Cooking Kids In Canada

Rick Kaulbars, personal and Facebook friend of mine, posts the following thoughts on FB.

In North America, 33 toddlers a year die in overheated parked cars. WIthin 20mins. the car temp. can shoot to 40 or even 50 deg. Now, a second child, an Edmonton girl, has died making it two children in as many weeks and....How stupid, selfish, wrapped up in your own shit with your lazy head up your ass do you have to be to commit negligent homicide like this. ASSHOLES!

 What brought the rant on was a story carried by everyone, including Global Edmonton, that said that "Police say a little girl left inside a parked car during extreme heat in Edmonton has died in hospital.

The three-year-old child was found near death Tuesday evening outside a townhouse complex."  This was, as Mr. Kaulbars pointed out, the second child in Canada to cook to death in as many weeks.  "A funeral was being Wednesday for a two-year-old Ontario boy, who died last week after being left alone in a sweltering car in Milton, west of Toronto."  

Pay attention folks.

6207...Can Tim Hudak Go Oh Fer 5?

Thursday August 1st is when there will be 5 by elections in Ontario.

If form was to hold the official opposition, Tim Hudak's Progressive Conservatives, should take all the seats.

They will not. 

In fact the view from here says they will take zero seats.

Obviously the only way Mr. Hudak keeps his sweet job is coz he knows where the bodies are buried.

I bet they are real bodies too!

6206...Former Ottawan Tom Cruise Is 51

I always found it odd that the people of your capital, Ottawa, don't embrace Tom Cruise at any level as a native son.

He was born in the 'Cuse, Ottawa's fave American city and spent a few years in Ottawa as a child.

C'est la vie.

And la vie has him at 51 today.

6205...Better Call Saul

Saul Goodman that is.



The oleaginous lawyer to meth dealers and the like on AMC's Breaking Bad just may be getting spun off that show into his own series.  Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, says that it ain't a lock but it could happen.  Both he and Peter Gould, a writer on BB, told The Wrap's Tim Molloy that they are working on it.

Gus Fring, played by Giancarlo Esposito, who lost both face and his face to a ratta, could be coming back if the Saul Goodman show decides to go prequel.
