I swear, there is a conspiracy against me and it’s being run by Tim Horton’s.
Every time the Rrrroll up the Rim to Win contest comes around I’m lucky to win one coffee.
Like most Tim loyalists, I get my one cup a day and cross my fingers. But I never get to capitalize from the contest.

Okay, you’ve been hearing many rumours over the last week or two about who may or may not be running for mayor.

Here are the categories I’ve developed.
Probably will run:

I can’t wait for tonight.
It is going to be an amazing game as Canada takes on Slovakian.
I know a lot of people aren’t familiar with the Slovaks but they will be a tough team to face. They have some big bodies on their blue line, like Zdeno Chara, and some amazing talent in front of […]

All you need to know is that 5 Flames are gone, including Dion Phaneuf and Olli Jokinen, and we got 6 players in return. Many of them have contracts that are up […]

I’m sure you’ve all noticed the stories about the destruction in Haiti after a massive earthquake earlier in the week. It’s being described as a war zone because most of the landmark buildings in the capital […]

Could we soon see another defector?
A friend in the legislature gave me a shout the other day and proudly had a news tip for me.
He’s been hearing rumours that an Edmonton MLA is going to soon leave the PC Party for the Wildrose Alliance.
