Abbotsford's @ntaylorgolf59 eagled his final hole Friday to make the cut on the number at the World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos. Taylor begins his 3rd round at 5-under par. Surrey's Adam Svensson (7-under) also made the cut. Coquitlam's A.J. Ewart (4-over) missed.

6 years ago, a @CFL giant passed away. David Braley died on October 26, 2020, at the age of 79 at his home in Burlington, Ontario.
David Braley (1941–2020) was a towering figure, team owner, and former interim commissioner in the Canadian Football League. He is widely remembered as a "guardian angel" and stabilizing force who owned three different franchises and helped keep the league afloat over three decades.
Let's remember David Braley.

12-year #CFL career, plus #CFLPA leadership. Morreale did some good things and brought a lot of energy to the CEBL during his tenure. Looks like a very good hire. #Redblacks #RNation
Hearing the @REDBLACKS will announce Mike Morreale as their new president as soon as Wednesday. Former Most Outstanding Canadian in the @CFL, former commissioner of the Canadian Elite Basketball League.#CFL #Redblacks

On 45th anniversary of Blue Monday, I repeat: if the Expos ever return, Steve Rogers, brilliant down the stretch in '81 (ask Steve Carlton), should throw the ceremonial first pitch.

Just voted to stay with Canada. Advance voting took TEN MINUTES!
Thanks to the workers who are running a smooth operation.
Thanks to Canada for making the choice an easy one.

Lived in, worked in or visited every province & territory except for two.
This Thanksgiving sight reminded me to never take for granted how fortunate we are.
Canada is work continuously in progress but worthy of that endeavour. 🇨🇦

Spent time with Larry as a young baseball writer in the early 1990s and then working with him at The Globe and Mail almost a decade later.
Larry loved his work and the life of a baseball beat writer. My condolences to his family and friends.
Farewell to pal Larry Millson. We travelled together for years. Argued. Laughed. And were friends. R. I. P. Mills @officialBBWAA @BlueJays

Michael J Fox is one of the architects of my life. Well before I ever imagined that I would meet him, he helped build my imagination. He made movies feel like magic. He made me believe that maybe a kid from Burnaby, Canada could dream as big as he wanted to.

Celebration of Life for McKeach today. So well done, befitting of a man who was one of a kind. Quote of the day for me: “It’s not the length of ones life, it’s the width”. So Prophetic

On this day in 1991, the Edmonton Oilers traded Mark Messier to the New York Rangers one season after he led them to the Stanley Cup.
In 1994, he led the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup in 54 years.
With the Oilers, he won five Stanley Cups, the Conn Smythe and the Hart.

Coquitlam’s AJ Ewart is tied for ninth heading into Sunday’s final round of the Bank of Utah Championship on @PGATour . Big opportunity to secure his place inside the top 100 and earn full status for 2027.

The #Canucks and the Oilers combined for 27 goals in 121-and-a-half minutes of hockey across two of the craziest, silliest, most absurd NHL games that I've ever had the good fortune to cover.
Finding Big Country made its premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival eight years ago (Oct. 1, 2018). Grizzlies were in Vancouver for just six. Big Country Reeves retired from the NBA at age 28. His son, Trey, is now a Harvard-trained tax attorney. Life moves fast.
Sushi Boys: Randy Starkman (Toronto Star), Terry Bell (The Province), Elliott Pap (Vancouver Sun), Lance Hornby (Toronto Sun), Jim Jamieson (The Province) in Tokyo for Canucks-Ducks doubleheader to start 1997-98 NHL season. RIP, gentlemen: Randy (2012), Jim (August 10, 2026).

One scrappy Canadian show made comedy history, gave us a generation of icons, and is still making us laugh today.
SCTV: THE GREATEST SHOW YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF — a new documentary chronicling the legacy of one of the most influential sketch comedy series in TV history — is coming October 30!
