No Tobans and Life in N.W.O.

Well my sources on Manitoban Tories getting more representation at the cabinet table (Pallister and Fletcher) were wrong but the Ontario Tory on Baird was right on the money. The defection of Khan is of little consequence as the man had a tough time making up his mind and sticking to his guns. These are not good qualities to have after 2 years in the House. His change of parties is markedly different then Belinda and Scott whom changed philosophies, not just organizations. jason Cherniak has some interesting coments on that one. On the hockey side great to see Canada keep the three-peat !!! Great hockey!Closer to home, my nephew is in town and as a Grade Niner is on the Varsity High School team. He and his Fort Frances High Muskies mates are playing superb hockey against some older competition. Nice to see High School hockey alive and well. They play a team from New Brunswick in the Semi Finals tonight so should be even more good ole Canadian hockey. The Fort High Muskies are very well tooled and skilled team with talent galore. Interesting comments from some of the parents in town for the tourney - they are absolutely terrified of car theft and many told me they shop in Thunder Bay rather than Winnipeg because of the car theft problem. Thunder Bay is farther from Fort Frances than Winnipeg. Not at all healthy or the City to be known for.
