Put off plans for a backpacking overnight because it’s too hot. On Sept. 28. In Manitoba.

It’s 30 C in Spruce Woods, 27 C in Winnipeg and 24 C at the beaches on Lake Winnipeg.

“We do a better job looking after feral cats than we do fellow human beings,” Coun. Russ Wyatt just told the September city council meeting three times.

Too bad Tylenol didn’t invade Estonian airspace.

So to see a Canadian league propose to diminish what makes it Canadian at a time when there’s a real threat of losing both our cultural sovereignty and actual sovereignty … well, that is mighty upsetting.

It breaks the spell of the escape.

The more I think about it, the better I understand why this upsets me.

Sports provides an escape. I go to games so I don’t worry about important things that *should* upset me.

Or add a team in Saskatoon and call it the Las Vegas Posse.

Yes, I know: Old Man Yells At Cloud.

Just to be clear, my job prevents me from opining on politics, geopolitics or anything horrible going on in the world.

• Go where the fans are, starting with Quebec City.
