On Dec. 20, 1969, the Grey Cup was stolen from the Lansdowne Park Clubhouse only a month after the Ottawa Rough Riders won it.
It was held for ransom for months until the robbers left it in a locker at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
This is the story.

It's the weekend & also Day 1396 of Russia's 3-day 'military operation' to take Kyiv.
Yet Putin's horde is still scrambling around with horses & donkeys in desolate fields of Donetsk.
Indeed, after 12 years Russia hasn't reached 100 miles into Ukraine in any direction.

And again, as I've banged on about again and again. Even if you *100% accept all claims* from the RFK Jr. camp about what vaccines do to children - the balance of consequences so overwhelmingly favors vaccination that it isn't even a question.

Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

On June 6, 1822, Canadian voyageur Alexis St. Martin, was shot at close range by a musket on Mackinac Island.
The wound never healed fully, leaving an opening in his stomach.
Studies of his stomach greatly advanced our understanding of digestion.
This is his story.

This CBC article reads like a tourism brochure for the US travel industry. Not one mention of the boycott.
The article says that if you travel to Montana you can buy one beer and get one free.
