Thanksgiving is about the Harvest and the Harvest in Canada is in October. We like Thanksgiving exactly where it is. We don't want to be like the Americans and we don't want to be the 51st State Matt.

To use your term, "Rational" fans didn't critize Fred. Most of those fans grew up during the good 10 years. Most people appreciated Fred. Only the very young vocal minority spewed all the hate. e

I agree with Alex, I do not have any music on when I'm driving. Also I find talking to a passenger I don't usually travel with very distracting. I have never tried dim sum. In fact I haven't been in a restaurant since 2019 because covid is still circulating in the community. In the 90s I used to go to Richmond, BC very often for work and I saw lots of chicken feet in the grocery stores. They never appealed to me. but I do like a good feed of cod tongues. There is a Newfoundland store in Brampton called Freezerland. It's quite an interesting store. Take care and enjoy your summer.

Forget Embid. If Fred was healthy and Gary wasn't the Walking Dead for the first 3 games the 76ers wouldn't have won in 6 games.

have you considered changing the name of your podcast to the love Pascal podcast. I like Pascal. I think he's great but your show is becoming unbearable to listen to.
