@Marcus_Mosher What a joke. But don’t give him more exposure. Skip has no clue

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@yyzsportsmedia Can someone please explain to me why there should be any hesitation at all to move on from Matthews? Great talent, no question but he appears to have peaked and is on the downside, and it’s clear he is not a winner, that should be clear to all, or you are not being honest….

@yyzsportsmedia Wtf is that? Just silly….

There is a video circulating on the internet that is difficult to watch. A woman sits on a pavement in Louisville, Kentucky. She is wearing a hospital gown. It is 36 degrees outside. Her belongings, everything she apparently owns, are in a plastic bag on the concrete beside her. Behind her, through the glass doors she has just been escorted through, the hospital hums along as normal. The security guards who brought her here have already gone back inside.

She couldn’t afford her bill.

This is not a scene from a developing nation or a history book. This is the United States of America.
The country in which it happens has spent decades telling the rest of the world that it has the highest GDP on earth. Which is a bit like a restaurant proudly displaying its bill on the wall. Enormous number. Terrible meal. The lobster was frozen, the wine came from a box.

Europe, by comparison, has spent the better part of a century building something rather different. The food, for a start, is extraordinary. Not in a showy way, but in the way that a simple lunch in Lyon or a glass of wine on a terrace in Lisbon reminds you that eating is one of the genuinely good things about being alive. The wine is the wine that the rest of the world has spent generations attempting to replicate, mostly without success.

Roughly 35 percent of Europeans live with a chronic illness. In America, that number is 76 percent. The difference is not genetic. It is architectural. It is the slow accumulation of decent food, walkable cities, actual holidays, and a healthcare system that does not require you to crowdfund your own appendix.

Europeans work fewer hours. They have more purchasing power on a smaller salary once you subtract the cost of health insurance, medical debt, and the private school their child needs because the local public one has a metal detector at the entrance. They live, on average, about ten years longer. Not ten years of decline and doctor visits, but ten years of being a person in the world.

In the first quarter of 2025, the number of Americans leaving the United States doubled compared to the previous quarter.  Europe was their top destination. Not for a sabbatical or a gap year. Permanently. These are not people who failed. These are people who did the maths.

There is a man somewhere in America right now who has worked fifty-hour weeks for forty years, taken one week off when his employer permitted it, and will, statistically, be dead before he sees seventy. And there is another man, not very far away on a map but an entire civilisation removed in practice, sitting on a terrace in the afternoon sun with a glass of something cold and no particular place to be. He has had six weeks off every summer since 1987. He knows his neighbours by name.

The first man’s country has the higher GDP.

The first man’s country tops the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) index. The second man tops the Quality of Life Index (QLI). The better health. The longer life. The afternoon.

MAGA America calls that losing.

Ask anyone.

@TSNVicRauter @longleysunsport All the best Vic! One of the greats and a better guy! Enjoy what’s next to the fullest, sure you will

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@TSN_PR @yyzsportsmedia @TSNVicRauter A true pro and one of the nicest men I have ever come across. Nothing but the best for a fabulous broadcaster and person, in retirement. Well deserved!

@RonFilipkowski The point of the SAVE Act is to tie up elections in court so the results cannot be certified and the current party stays in power.

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

Has there been 1 flag in this game? #SuperBowl

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@RonFilipkowski Rhetorical question��.

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@yyzsportsmedia @TomBrady He has improved a lot. He was horrible until mid season this year. And now Romo is beyond bad. He started out so well, refreshing, and now I can’t listen to him and I am a Cowboys fan….

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@RonFilipkowski Nothing at all….. I will say it again and again and again…. The amount and level of corruption and criminality of this administration is way, way beyond what any of us can imagine

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@yyzsportsmedia Totally agree

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

In Trump’s America, you get executed for disrespecting ICE, Fed Chairs get threatened with criminal indictments if they don’t lower interest rates, and our closest allies for decades are threatened with invasion. We are in a dark place, a place some of us very much expected.

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@donwinslow Cold blooded murder and if the reporting is true that she simply dropped her kid off at school and was simply driving by, this should never ever be forgotten and the shooter better be prosecuted to the fullest extent

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@RonFilipkowski The question is, if the reporting that has come out is true, that Good simply dropped her kid off at school nearby and was simply driving off to wherever she was going, was not protesting in any way, and never has, what will Vance and these sick fucks say next?

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@CoryTaylor420 @RonFilipkowski @Acyn She does and doesn’t care because they feel untouchable and so far, they are

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@RonFilipkowski They lie and lie and lie and unless there are other videos, it is beyond belief how this admin just lies when there is video evidence completely contrary to what they are saying. They feel they are untouchable and so far, that is sadly the case

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@RonFilipkowski Can it be saved? Legit question

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@RonFilipkowski Yup

[Jorey Middlestadt @JoreyMiddle]

@yyzsportsmedia @MapleLeafs Seems pretty obvious that the way forward for this franchise will be to completely blow it all up. Fire Treliving, not all his fault, but he has to go. Ask all top guys, Matthews, Nylander, Reilly, maybe Tavares too, to wave their no moves, along with some others, full rebuild
