It is quite ridiculous what hockey has turned into in our country. Year-round hockey, travelling all over North America, 5:00 am practices, 11:00 practices, and this is all for 99% of the kids that will never make the NHL. What happened to playing hockey for fun? For all of the thousands of...
I have heard many people talk about "spending disproportionate tax revenues" on Southern Ontario but have never seen any real data to back that up. With approximately 94% of the population living in "The South", it makes sense to most that a large portion of tax revenue should be spent there. I...
It's funny how many of today's youth in Canada don't cheer for Canadian teams anymore. I have more Bruins, Penguins and Capitals fans in my class than anything else. Not one Leaf fan. The season is alive and well for many up here.
