CBC reports that Gary Bettman, the big boss of the National Hockey League, says that September 15th is the drop dead date for the upcoming season.
A winter. Without hockey. In Canada.
Step up to the plate Stephen Harper.

5010...Stephen Harper Has No Soul
My friend Denise Brunsdon, a star to be in Canuckistanian politics, shared this on Facebook earlier this day.
My view on immigration is simple and clear. Let them all in and if they f'up, well that is what courts are for. Frankly I don't think Ms. Amah was a f'up. She definitely didn't get due process.

South Asian Women's Centre Statement: "Kandasamy Gunapoosani Amah is 70-year-old Sri Lankan woman was deported back to Sri Lanka today. She has 4 children, two of whom are here in Canada and two of whom are in Norway; she has no other close relatives or friends in Sri Lanka. Her family asked Immigration Canada to let her stay here so that they can take care of her, but the Government refused. Her refugee claim has been denied, though her Humanitarian and Compassionate ground appeal is still in process. This tragedy will separate an elderly widowed mother from her children who are willing to care for her. Worse, she will return to a country where she has no immediate family to care for her."

5009...Sponge Bob Is Dead
The Sponge Bob I refer to is the cat. Not just any cat though, this Sponge Bob was a 33 pound kitty whom The Daily Mail says was a bit of a star in New York, New York.
His weight did not kill him per se; his weight made an operation life threatening so his owners decided to see what would happen. His death is what happened.
Went through the same thing with Grandma Shields we did.

5008...Today's Excuse/Reason To Drink
August 9th is a national holiday.
In South Africa.
Sure they like Corey Hart, still, but it is a country and today is National Women's Day. The holiday commemorates the 20,000 women who gathered in the capital of SA on this day in 1956. Primarily women of colour, they were peacefully protesting apartheid, the pass system and the fact that women were, at best, second class citizens in SA.

5007...It Has Come To This In Canada
The nation is excited about Canada winning a bronze in women's soccer.
To paraphrase the great Jim Rome, heard locally on The Team 1200 and all across North America on various stations, soccer is not a sport and women's soccer is not even an activity.
I rest my case.

5006...Regina Priorities Don't Include Indians
At least if they are poor and live in North Central, which is quite possibly the worst neighbourhood in North America. Drug wise, mortality wise, get your ass killed wise, North Central has it all.
It also used to have a program called RAGS [I hope I got that right; I am working off a video piece CBC Regina ran earlier] but the money ran out.
Interestingly Mayor Pat Fiacco, Premier Brad Wall and our beloved Prime Minister Stephen Harper along with community leaders in the Queen City have found 200 or 300 million shekels to build a football stadium.
Coz those eight to ten football games a year are worth more to the people of Regina than a bunch of f*cking Indians.

5005...Dean Del Mastro Humble Pie
Not for him; pour moi.
I mentioned earlier this day that the corpulent MP for Peterborough and our beloved Prime Minister's Parliamentary Secretary seemingly had dodged a bullet.
Then again.
This time QMI, The Suns, has put a target on El Roundo's back. Brendan Wedley writes that "Elections Canada is now investigating allegations donors who contributed about $20,000 to MP Dean Del Mastro’s 2008 re-election campaign were reimbursed by a company owned by the MP’s cousin."
This is old news but in a new chain of newspapers.
The wagons are circling.
