In 1970, years before becoming host of Hockey Night in Canada, 25-year-old Dave Hodge joined WKBW-TV to call nine #Buffalo Sabres games during their inaugural season.

He teamed with Rick Azar while continuing to work full-time at Toronto’s CFRB. #Sabres 🏒🦬

There is a reckless and dishonest op-ed in my newspaper by an Irwin Studin that asks a number of questions and pretends that the answers are unavailable. Let me provide them.

1. "Who approved the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for Canada?" National regulatory agencies around the world, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), approved the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. In Canada, Health Canada did so.
2. "Why were they approved without proper Canadian testing?" The vaccines were tested in clinical trials and authorized under Health Canada's Interim Order for COVID-19 related drugs. They were approved in December 2020. They had been tested for months and underwent standard, rigorous preclinical testing and three sequential phases of human clinical trials before receiving regulatory authorization.
3. "Were they approved with any knowledge of risks of injury and death?" Before emergency authorization and full regulatory approvals, clinical trials and scientific reviews identified specific short-term adverse events and theoretical risks associated with mRNA technology. These included allergic reactions and flu-like symptoms. There were no statistically significant difference in overall or all-cause mortality between the vaccinated and placebo groups. None.
4. "Why were these risks not communicated frontally [sic] to Canadians?" COVID-19 mRNA vaccine side effect risks were communicated to Canadians through official channels, repeatedly. The federal government and public health agencies used a multi-layered approach to convey side effect risks. $88 million was spent communicating with the public about Covid-19 and vaccines in just 2020. Physicians communicated risks, as did the media, including the one in which Rudin published his conspiracy theory.
5. "Why were the vaccines not removed immediately upon information about injuries and likely deaths? (This would have been done for any product on any sane Canadian day!)" This is the most reckless bit of propaganda in this screed. After attempting to build a false case there were serious risks and fatalities, the author insinuates blame for "injuries and likely deaths" that he has not shown happened. Insinuating homicide is a serious charge. He has provided no proof. Where is the proof?
6. "And why, pray tell, were we forcing perfectly healthy Canadians — including young Canadians and pregnant women — to take the vaccine simply in order to access what were once considered basic public goods in our beloved Canada?" This too is a falsehood. No one in Canada was held down to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Again, where is his proof that people were physically restrained and injected with something? He has none.

Opinions are fine. Presenting bullshit as facts is not.

Time for a story 🍁

[Ladytron Fan Account @Lady_FanAccount]

“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” is from Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 debut album She’s So Unusual. The joyful, colorful anthem peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (blocked from #1 by Van Halen's "Jump") and reached #1 in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, becoming one of the defining pop songs of the 1980s.

Originally written by Robert Hazard from a male perspective, Lauper transformed it into an empowering celebration of female independence. She completely rewrote the lyrics and restructured the chords from Hazard's rock demo to create the synth-pop/reggae-infused track we know today. The song's iconic music video, featuring professional wrestler Captain Lou Albano as her father and a cameo by her real-life mother, won the very first Best Female Video award at the MTV VMAs in 1984.

The Maple Leafs just unveiled a brand new centre ice logo for the 2026-27 season 👀

It’s the same logo the team had in 1927 to honour 100 years as the Leafs from the St. Pats 🍁

“Dreaming” was written by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein for Blondie's fourth studio album, Eat to the Beat (1979). Stein later revealed that the song was heavily influenced by ABBA's “Dancing Queen,” while Harry built the lyrics around Stein's initial idea of “dreaming is free.”

Released in September 1979 as the album's lead single, “Dreaming” reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 3 in Ireland and No. 4 in Canada. One of its most distinctive features is Clem Burke's explosive drumming: he later explained that the frantic part was essentially a first take during a run-through of the song. He even considered re-recording it because he didn't think the busy drumming sounded commercial enough, but the original performance was kept and became one of the recording's defining elements.
