I said to Beck last night... if they are going to make a trade, the best time is after the Toronto game.
Out: Marc-Andre Bergeron
In: Denis Grebeshkov
Being reported on Sportsnet
All I can say is that this guy better be able to turn water into vodka 'cause this trade seems bad.

In case I didn't get it across, thanks to everyone who came out tonight. Apologies to those I didn't really get a chance to talk to, but the numbers were surprising, at least to me. I know the 24th year will be, at least, more intriguing that the previous ones, and I'm glad to have kicked it off the right way.

Do the credits in all Quebec movies run top-to-bottom? Or just in Bon Cop, Bad Cop?

Nothing like an excerpt from Kevin Taft's new book to anger up the blood:
Hush in the air about deadly hospital cleanup
The following is an excerpt from Democracy Derailed, a new book by Alberta Liberal leader Kevin Taft, published by Red Deer Press
"You should look into asbestos problems at the Holy Cross." - Anonymous phone message
In 2002, I began raising concerns in Question Period about the sale of the Holy Cross Hospital as part of a larger probe into conflicts of interest at the Calgary Regional Health Authority (CRHA). Five years earlier, the CRHA had sold the Holy Cross building and land for about $4.5 million.
...
We submitted a request under Freedom of Information laws (FOIP) for all documents relating to the sale of the hospital. To our delight, FOIP actually delivered (the only time I can remember). We received a huge stack of information, including the engineering reports on the building, the appraisals indicating a value of $20.6 million and considerable background correspondence on the sale process.
I would recommend reading the rest of the article, if for its informative content rather than its entertainment value. The asbestos problems were only the first part of the maddening story, but in and of themselves, they are ludicrous and tragic.
We began making inquiries and learned that the City of Calgary had issued significant building permits for renovations at the Holy Cross. In our first conversations with city officials, they were concerned about asbestos at the site. But when we followed up a few weeks later, the subject suddenly seemed off limits.
