Cherry and Harper Help Raise $200,000 For Cancer Center

I wish that I could have been there to see Don Cherry and Prime Minister Stephen Harper coach a charity hockey team in front of 5,000 adoring fans in Barrie tonight. The event raised $200,000 for a cancer research center, and the Blue Team won 11-8. The Prime Minister received a "healthy round of applause", which was later dwarfed by the standard thundering ovation for Don Cherry. A popular Prime Minister and a Canadian icon, I would have been very interested to hear what the two chatted about.

This fantastic event ended what was a really freaky day in Canada, as though Friday the 13th came one day early. Between traffic accidents and mysterious migrant ships, it was an odd day. My condolences go out to the Liberal Party for the loss of their communications director. I feel that it is appropriate to refrain from my standard partisan attacks during their mourning period.

    And THAT is what sets Conservatives apart from those on the Left - the comments from the Left towards Helena's accident are disgusting. Why is that?

    Rehtorical question. BTW

  2. I read about the hockey game in Barrie to raise funds for the Cancer Centre in the Toronto Star. Now to where do you want that bridge delivered ?

  3. It was a great Hockey Night in Barrie, Ice man !

    Alberta Girl ... Helena, who is with child, was at our Alliston Potato Festival, and looked quite lovely and happy despite all the hate from the left that has been thrown at her.

    Our prayers go out to Helena, her unborn child, and her assistant that everything will be ok after the car accident.
