    Bell Media on Jan. 28: "Mental health is important." Bell Media on Feb. 9: "Let's shut down several of our radio stations and not tell our employees first." What a joke.

    Pierre-Luc Dubois's change to No. 80 is in honour of former Columbus teammate Matīss Kivlenieks, who died tragically a month ago. Kivlenieks wore No. 80 for the Blue Jackets.

    $5 Gs for this but if you wear a purple warmup jersey to support those battling cancer you’ll be fired into the Sun.

    It doesn't matter if this boy under 10 who has died had underlying health conditions. He's a child. He someone's son. A grandson. Perhaps a brother. Have some respect.

    Something to remember: You can blame government for their poor public health messaging. Don't blame fully vaccinated health-care workers, who've worked their asses off for the past 15 months to save lives and treat those affected by COVID-19. None more deserving. Full stop.
