Michelle Obama once asked her mother why she was holding Barack's hand on election night. Her mother replied, "His father left when he was two. He lost his mother to cancer. He was moments away from becoming the leader of the free world with no parents, so I took his hand."
When the #BlueJays signed Ernie Clement in the spring of 2023, I didn't even write a story. It was just another depth move, which is the beauty of this.
From being DFA'd by the A's to the World Series, WBC and leading the AL in All-Star voting. He's the best story on this team.
Jalen Brunson post Game 4: "Before we start…
My thoughts & prayers are with a friend of mine I got to meet last week. Jonathan from North Carolina. From Make a Wish Foundation
They asked me to make a video. But something told me to Facetime…
I got the pleasure to do so…Quick call but well worth it.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family…
May God rest his soul"
(Reporter asks question)
Jalen (can't answer): "Sorry…"
Thank you to everyone at The Christie for such a moving visit today.
Meeting patients, families and staff was a powerful reminder that healing is about so much more than treatment alone. A cancer diagnosis affects every part of life, in mind, body and the deeper part of ourselves. The way we process fear, uncertainty and change is deeply personal.
The Christie’s commitment to holistic care, from art therapy and wellbeing spaces to emotional and spiritual support, helps people navigate not only illness, but the profound impact it can have on quality of life. These services empower patients to play an active role in their recovery and wellbeing, reminding us that care should always be centred on the whole person.
Thank you for sharing your stories with me, and for the compassion, creativity and dedication shown every day across the hospital.

easily the most frustrating part of today is the wasted offensive momentum. we’ve been begging for a game where the bats pick up a struggling starter, and today we got exactly that after treys rough outing. vladdy is destroying baseballs again, sanchez and clement came up massive in high leverage spots, and the team played clean baseball. they deserved the win today.
When the #BlueJays come up just short of making the playoffs this season, think of the number of losses Jeff Hoffman is directly or indirectly responsible for.
If those loses went the other way, the Jays are playing postseason baseball.
Hoffman has got to go!
