The bottom is 100% my method

I remember this episode. My son and I watched it 43346643 times. Elmo was pushed to his limit that day by a pet rock. Edge of your seat tension.

Tried a new spot. ##novascotia #fishing

Pretty high bar though

Quite an evening in Eastern Passage, #NovaScotia

Lunch

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

I was also upset about the pickleball situation.

I'm not sure what it will take for Canada to stop hosting sporting mega events. Even participation in this things is tough to justify, underscoring a prevailing commitment to entertainment over the meaningful pursuit health and wellbeing. The money is absolutely better spent elsewhere.

"Amadou [a journalist] covered his first men’s World Cup in 2002 and despite the tournament taking place in Japan and South Korea, a singular visa system was created for media, players and people requiring to travel for work back and forth. 'It was a lot easier,' he said" There it is. Shame on 🇨🇦&🇺🇸

I keep wondering who exactly can afford these world cup tickets. It just makes no sense to me, even if I happened to live a stone's throw away and wanted to give my money to these thieves. Perhaps it explains why there are so many yellow jerseys in the crowd but barely any true ambiance... 👀

Bee buddy

Please consider participating in, or sharing, this important study at CBU

Today I realized @katynotie.bsky.social is on this app. It's a good day.

The first article on "Decoding Sport" is now live. I wrote about the NS government and the obvious contradiction between pursuing extractive industries after running primarily on a healthcare platform, all while cutting funds to physical activity. decodingsport.beehiiv.com/p/the-ns-gov...

I'm no detective, but this feels like one of them clue things

This. "Albert Camus reminds us that it is possible to embrace our lives’ absurdity and use that as the starting point for both a new connection with the rest of humanity and a bold experiment in living." bigthink.com/thinking/cam...

In fairness to other boxers, the championship organizations really need to get back to stripping belts after a year of inactivity. #boxing

Hope Fabio Wardley is OK

Ah yes, the prestigious WBA gold continental title...not to be confused with the WBA continental Europe title which is totally different even though this bout is being contested in the continent of *** checks notes *** Europe. Silliness. This is boxing.

Some mornings the bar is low. Just this morning I was thinking "I've published far worse stuff than this" as I read over a piece I've been struggling with and caught myself smiling. Here's a celebratory Willem Dafoe for everyone.

With the province cutting so much from sport, recreation, and physical activity in Nova Scotia, municipalities are scrambling. Hopefully this new initiative by the #Halifax Regional Municipality will help stabilize the situation for some ppl. halifax.citynews.ca/2026/04/28/h...

"How's grading going, Mac?" Mac:

Probably time to tell folks I found the Oak Island treasure when I was out fishing with my Nana in 1992. Didn't realize everyone was still looking. Guess that's my bad.

More #FIFA shenanigans. "On social media this week, soccer fans have voiced their frustration with FIFA’s ticket play. With some claiming that FIFA’s phased approach to ticket sales is creating an artificial scarcity, to drive up ticket prices." www.ctvnews.ca/sports/artic...

Apparently thunder DOES NOT only happen when its raining. If Stevie Nicks lied about this, how can be certain that players only love you when they're playing? Does truth exist?

Straight shot from here to Ireland. Not a bad spot to catch the bus to @smuarts.bsky.social. Morning chat with the sea birds is essential.

Newfoundland volleyball coach and referee Markus Hicks just received a lengthy prison sentence for dozens of sex crimes against minors. Hopefully there is also education, review, and reform to help prevent another Hicks from exploiting the same weak points in the system. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The FIFA FanFest in Toronto was meant to be free. The city tried to abruptly change course and charge between $10 and $300. They've now switched gears again, after criticism, and are trying to provide some of the tickets for free. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Finally a couple consecutive days of spring weather. View from the the Woodsode ferry terminal. A perk of working at @smuarts.bsky.social

FIFA doing #FIFA stuff. Unfortunate that 🇨🇦 is co-hosting this circus. We get to be complicit in all the #FIFA2026 shenanigans because we've already committed millions upon millions to partner with one of the most notoriously corrupt organizations in sport. www.nytimes.com/athletic/718...

The igloo is overflowing for the mainland senior hockey final. Truro leads East Hants 3-1 in the third. This is the best senior hockey there's been in NS for decades.

Chatted with the Canadian Press about FIFA, ICE, and Canadian anxieties about the USA. www.cbc.ca/sports/socce...

"We are 10 weeks out from the biggest World Cup in history & we don’t know if every country will be there, if supporters from every country will be allowed in, how they will be treated when they get there...It would be weirder if we weren’t fearful," writes @danielstorey85.bsky.social
