Is that Hachette knocking? A Big Five publisher says it's coming to Canada. The law says otherwise. @KenWhyte3 shush.substack.com/p/is-that…
Analyst @bengolliver says Raptors trade & signing of Ingram was "ill-advised." Yet Ingram made all-star, Raps jumped 16-wins last year, snapped 3-year playoff drought, and traded him and parts/picks for Kawhi. That's my kind of ill-advised.
I love Ratatouille but it's really a leftish movie: class antagonism is resolved not through market competition but by the collective appropriation of gastronomic knowledge. The means of culinary production are wrested from inherited elites by a multi-species workers' cooperative

Class / social antagonism dissolves by inviting the subaltern — the rats — into the creative/services sector, where they can maximize their ROI as individual human capitals.
2,3,5 are typical Raps: physical, tough, strong D. 1 and 4, are elite offense, a semi-departure for raps (or gradey make-ups). Several are older ready-to-play guys from developmental programs - maybe we're in win-now phase. All 5 are high character, compete like heck.

No. We are not. We have no tier. 🇨🇦 health care system is a mess. Not until they were in their 90s did my parents need care. They were left to rot in Emerg. And their story is not at all unique, tragically.

Catherine’s book was published by @KenWhyte3 of @sutherlandbooks based in Toronto
Wonderful evening at @cathmckenna ‘s launch of her book RUN LIKE A GIRL, an inspiring memoir of her life in the public eye as the Climate and Environment Minister in the Federal Government of Canada, and an advocate for renewable energy. Good to see @erinotoole too!
coming this fall from Sutherland House:
Before Richard, Beliveau or Lafleur, there was Howie Morenz.
He was the first superstar of the Montreal Canadiens.
But then a freak accident on the ice ended his career and, eventually, his life.
This is the story of the Stratford Streak.

ALT A black-and-white vintage photograph of Howie Morenz, a legendary Canadian ice hockey player, captured in a dynamic action pose during his career with the Montreal Canadiens. He is a middle-aged man with a bald head, intense eyes, and a determined smile, wearing a classic 1930s-era Canadiens jersey (black with white trim and the iconic red "CH" logo on the chest) and matching pants. His right arm is extended forward with a gloved hand gripping a hockey stick, while his left arm is bent at the elbow, as if skating aggressively toward the camera. The background is plain white, emphasizing his focused expression and athletic stance.

I'm proud to announce today -- four years to the day since The Hub (@thehubcanada) was launched -- the publication of a collection of 376 poems that have appeared in its pages: The Poetical Hub, available here: amazon.ca/dp/1998365670/
From biting epigram à la Martial to delicate Horatian lyric, from sombre lament to pure silliness, it's a collection with something for everyone.
Today's poem celebrates the 4th Anniversary; the "sword of seven hundred songs" refers to the fact that this is the 712th poem I've published in The Hub in these past four years.
Everyday she sounds a little more like Baghdad Bob: “President Trump is the hardest-working president the American people have ever had,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “He is constantly taking calls and working deals to advance our nation’s interests.”

.@shushnewsletter by @KenWhyte3 consistently lucid in this darkening period of Canadian culture
B. Ingram from '21-23 is #26, #29, #27 ESPN Top 100. He's #40 '24. Cost: late 1st, trade rated C-D. Knicks pay five 1s for Bridges, #38 ESPN, trade graded: B-B+. Yeah, salaries, dnps, defence, etc. Would u swap Bridges (age 28) for BI (27)? Masai got a steal @michaelgrange

I wrote for them when @ConradMBlack owned it and @KenWhyte3 edited it. As a media historian, I can say with some certainty that it was the best designed, most interesting and the most writer-friendly paper in modern Canadian history. 1/2
