Management are trying to convince sceptical fans that you can win, then spend in the AL East. Good luck. Now thanks to the Tigers, Rangers, and Angels, they can forget about any wild card delusions – even with an expanded play-off format.

If the Jays get off to a slow start next season – it will be pretty lonely for the fans. The only ones who will be at the Robbers Centre will be the die-hards and the only cheering will be for the stars in the other dug out.

Guy I feel sorry for is Jose Bautista. He like the fans got duped into thinking this team actually wanted to win. Well now we know why winners don’t come or stay long in Toronto.

Do some reading of your own and you will see the writing was on the wall. Winning pennants has never been mentioned in Rogers’ annual reports.

It is by no accident that countries like the U.S. who aggressively enforce their strict anti-piracy and patent laws, are world leaders in innovation. While countries like China lead the world in copy cat production because of weak patent enforcement.

Obviously the current versions of SOPA and PIPA have to be tweaked, but it is wrong to claim that they have no place in protecting creators in cyber space.

Coming up with a fair and balanced approach of how to do this on the internet may take time. But it should not include the abandoning of any piracy regulation. That would be an outdated response that pushes us back not forward.

Seriously, they have changed nothing but a voice over from the original ad.

Ford you can do better.

I know in hockey I have crossed the line , but luckily a bigger, player with hockey smarts has given me my wake up call and told me in not so many words – to clean it up or else. Unfortunately, the checks and balances are not present in the game today.

The rash of concussions I don’t believe are the direct result of the absence enforcers, but it hasn’t helped either. if the league wants to continue to follow its current path – then 4 on 4 will be the next evolution to create more space in what has become a very dangerous high speed game.

Don’t get sucked in – when all is said is done – the hard line tea party crowd will hold their nose and endorse Romney because their distaste for him pales in comparison to their dread of another four years of Obama. So expect Republicans to milk this for all they can and then fall behind their man Romney.

When public money dries up for these programs, and it will. The case for public education will be lost since the benefit of gaining perspective from being educated with children of all backgrounds will be gone. Chartered schools will spring up with cash strapped governments more than happy to reduce their education funding.

The loss of a strong public education system that has been a cornerstone of a progressive Ontario would be a shame. The irony is that it is being brought about by people wanting exclusivity in their public education system, but who are unable to afford the private option. This same demographic will be hurt the most – when these public programs get cut and parents come crawling back to a universal public system that many stakeholders have since abandoned.
