The Ryan Dinwiddie that Argos fans got to know last year was happy to impugn individual players and call them names. This year he's going one better, throwing a coach under the bus whom he called "a quality coach and an even better person" just a couple of days ago. Classy.

Under Trudeau, oil exports rose from 3.8 million to 4.7 million barrels per day *before* he did something even Harper never considered: just using taxpayer money to build a pipeline that private proponents saw no business case for. $34 Billion built TMX to grow oil exports to 5.3 million bpd. 18/

I see many Americans & some Canadians think Kevin O'Leary lives in Canada. He primarily lives in Miami Beach, Florida, though he also maintains a home in Boston, Massachusetts. He & his wife only come to Canada to practice their boating skills.
