My most boomer take is that we are oversaturated with "welcome back" videos. That used to be a rare moment for franchise icons and legends. Brady Tkachuk didn't accomplish anything in Ottawa and then forced his way out mid-contract. Let the fans boo without the contrived video.

Mark Carney: "The world is looking at Canada differently. And I'd suggest we should look at ourselves differently too. It's not about who we aren't, but who we are. It's not about what's lost, but it's what we have and what we can create."

That’s wildly specific

Did you know Justice Maria Carroccia spent more than four hours reading her 91 page reasons for judgment in the July 2025 Hockey Canada trial, during which she detailed numerous inconsistencies, memory gaps, and discrepancies in the complainant’s testimony and prior statements? The female judge found the complainant’s evidence neither credible nor reliable. The full oral delivery of the decision took most of the court day. So, unless you have read the full 91 page document you would be best to reserve judgement until you have.

I really like all three but pecorino romano might be my favourite.😋🇮🇹 Difficile de choisir car j’adore les trois mais je penche vers le pecorino😋🇮🇹

“I have a message for American friends. Yes, Canada is a generous, open country and Canadians are tolerant and kind. But never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness." — Former PM Jean Chrétien, speaking at 9/11 commemoration ceremony in Gander, N.L.

David Gilmour Plays “Wish You Were Here” Like a Man Who Has Lived Long Enough to Understand It There is a point in David Gilmour’s unplugged performance of “Wish You Were Here” when the song stops feeling like a piece of rock history and starts feeling strangely personal. The melody is familiar enough to belong to everyone now, but Gilmour plays it with none of the distance that usually comes with a classic being performed decades after its release. There is no attempt to recreate the scale of Pink Floyd or to turn the song into a grand retrospective. He simply sits with the guitar and lets the music occupy the room. That simplicity changes the way the song lands. When “Wish You Were Here” was released in 1975, its sense of absence was closely connected to Syd Barrett and to the growing distance between the person he had been and the band that had moved on without him. The song was written in a very specific moment, but its emotional reach turned out to be much wider. Almost anyone can hear something of their own life in the idea of looking at someone or something that is no longer within reach. The original recording even builds that feeling of distance into its opening. Gilmour’s guitar appears to come through the sound of a radio before the fuller acoustic guitar enters, creating the impression that the music is arriving from somewhere else. In the unplugged performance, that barrier is largely removed. The guitar is no longer coming through a radio or surrounded by the elaborate atmosphere of a Pink Floyd production. It is right there, close and unprotected, which makes the words feel less like part of a famous recording and more like something being remembered in real time. Gilmour’s restraint is important here. He does not need to prove that he can still play the song. The phrasing does the work. Notes are allowed to hang in the air, while the small pauses between them give the melody room to breathe. His voice carries the effects of time rather than trying to hide them, and that may be the most affecting part of the performance. The song has aged because the person singing it has aged, and the years between the original recording and this performance are suddenly part of what we hear. That gives “Wish You Were Here” another meaning. The song is still about absence, but absence changes as we grow older. It can mean a friend who disappeared from your life, a place that no longer exists, a relationship that could not survive, or simply a version of yourself that you can remember but never return to. Gilmour does not have to explain any of that. His age, his voice and the stripped-down arrangement allow the listener to bring those memories into the song. Perhaps that is why this performance feels more moving than a faithful recreation of the original ever could. Gilmour is not trying to take the listener back to 1975. He is showing what happens when a song survives for decades and gathers new meaning along the way. The melody remains almost exactly where we left it, but the person hearing it is no longer the same. And that may be the quiet power of “Wish You Were Here”: the song has stayed still long enough for all of us to change around it.
