I was cautious but optimistic of our chances, but over thirty years working for this party in Quebec I never thought we would ultimately win. I expected another close race where we came up short.

With the "controversy" of CBC in a dispute over the Hockey Night in Canada theme song (written by Dolores Clamen), I was reminded that I usually switch the channel away from CBC and to RDS shortly after the game begins (unless we are spared Bob Cole).

I begin with CBC because I still get a rush from listening to the HNIC theme.

I hate to admit it, Koodo Mobile's marketing is working.

Here I was minding in my own business trying to enjoy my lunch in one of my favourite restaurants, when the folks sitting next to me starting talking about something I obviously know more about than they do. In this restaurant you are basically at the same table as the people next to you. I was actually doing my best to ignore their conversation.

G4 Tech TV Canada has cancelled The Lab with Leo. Leo in his blog, has written that this is actually a good thing. I couldn't AGREE more.
