This Blue Jays team was incredible.
These Blue Jays taught us what it means to be a team. Showed by example what it means to bring your whole self with imperfections and contribute to something greater by working with others.
Shane Bieber, Toronto Blue Jay.
Starting pitcher and winner of game 4 of the World Series.
As a resident in the area, it’s great to see this work done ahead of schedule! 🥰
Just need the 504 back and all will be well. 🚊
King and Dufferin to reopen Wednesday night, weeks ahead of schedule — but the 504 streetcar won't be back right away — Toronto Star
The vital intersection has been under construction since Sept. 29 for streetcar track repairs.
What a moment. What a performance. What a total delight to watch.
That start was the full value of Scherzer’s contract for the whole year.
So glad he’s a Blue Jay and helping this team win big games in October.
Mad Max rages against Father Time -- literally -- in high-octane Game 4
SEATTLE -- Max Scherzer refused to let the sun go down. Not now, not yet.
Scherzer was vibrating on the mound, raging against everything the night threatened to be. If Scherzer were a banker or a taxi driver, 41 would be a fine age, but he is neither of those
Connection. Empathy. Insight. Curiosity. Inspiration. Perseverance. Genuine engagement.
These are what drive our weekly conversation. And Shane Hewitt usually has one word that provides a lens through which we explore the world.

Prime Minister Carney can enact critical changes in this Parliament.
The opportunity to do it now with political consensus on big things ought to be seized.

A timely reflection on leadership, balancing competing interests, and the real costs of winner-take-all activism currently rampant in political discourse today.
Moral Responsibility for Backlash
Is it a thing? Should it be?
At what point do our leaders drop the chest puffing, recognize reality, and offer a vision for real Canadian prosperity?
There must be more to Canada’s response than trying to keep pace with the Trump pissing match thinking we can go headline for headline, tariff for tariff.
