Les Perreaux

Pity the Sunday news reporters in Toronto who thought they’d be covering a victory party today but are instead chasing the red-head kid.

I thought the Jays were good at things like not falling asleep on bases.

There are a lot of Torontonians in this Montreal bar.

Opinion: Carney wants a China ‘reset.’ May he avoid the mistakes of the previous four To be sure, the Prime Minister has good reasons to attempt this century’s fifth reset

If Canadian PM Carney manages a “reset” with China, it will be the fifth reset in 20 years under three Prime Ministers. Two of those resets have required their own reset, by the same PM, after they went south. Heavy lies the hand on the China Reset button

That is indeed the fundamental hypocrisy of it all.

I've been in despair about this antireligous crusade for so long I hardly have anything left to say about it. I can't imagine how alienating it feels for the people directly affected.

My 11-year-old officially works harder to accommodate people at his birthday parties than the Quebec state.

It not only costs money but takes a remarkable toll on the people who do it. Just monitoring newsroom inboxes is a disgusting ordeal these days. It's not worth it.

A large majority of people working in most of the newsrooms I worked in agreed with you all the way back in the day, but we were overruled by our bosses who were listening to a handful of innovators who should have been figuring our Craig's List instead.

My longstanding unpopular stance is that the beginning of the end was comment sections on news stories. The day we created this false narrative that everyone is entitled to "weigh in" on literal facts, we created the conditions for this BS where you have to "hear people out" or you're censoring.

En tout cas, c'est pas le moment de se déguiser en Bob L'Éponge.

An amazing obituary with an unexpected appearance by the Raelian movement, a cult known for UFO belief and sexual libertinism.

McWhorter is at least as hard to pronounce as Mamdani.

Every once in a while I discover a hole in my news knowledge because I didn't get past the ragey internet discussion.

Fiscal rules and the return of discipline to Canada’s finances An independent fiscal council could help Canada restore discipline, credibility and accountability in managing deficits and debt.

Michael M. Atkinson & Haizhen Mou: "Creating an independent fiscal council charged with designing fiscal rules and monitoring compliance would help restore discipline to Canada’s fiscal governance."

Tonight’s hockey opinion is they should eliminate the first and third TV timeout and just play ads between whistles since most stoppages are 25 seconds anyway.

(Yes my hidden agenda is to make my DVR skip-ahead more efficient.)

Wouldn't it be great if someone found a way to do a crisp English-language summary of the excellent @irpp.org report from @cbreton.bsky.social on the state of Quebec politics 30 years after the 1995 referendum?

(English version to come!)

Tonight’s baseball opinion is you shouldn’t take out players who are cooking.

So you take your chances on the run home and the 11th inning. I guess we shall see.

My only baseball opinion tonight is you don’t risk taking the bat out of the hands of your last great batter.

It took me about 30 seconds to drop the Habs and go back to the Jets when they came back.

It is funny that the AP headlines the least interesting home run of the night.

As with the Winnipeg Jets departure, it took me about 10 years to get past the Expos leaving to cheer for someone else. Probably helped that the Jays were good and fun about then.

Hey @apnews.com I fixed it for you.

Montrealers have a love/hate relationship with the World Series-bound Blue Jays Some fans remain bitter over the loss of the Expos, while others are hopping on the Toronto bandwagon.

Montrealers have a love/hate relationship with the Blue Jays. Older Montrealers tend to be less enthused, still bitter about the loss of the Expos. Younger Montrealers say 'Go Jays Go!'. montrealgazette.com/news/local-n...
