Just pulled this off chartattack.com

Gord Downie, lead singer from The Tragically Hip, had some strong words concerning what he thinks Canada should be prepared for.

"It's a pivotal time in Canada's history," he said. "It's a chance for Canadians to shed the old nationalism which is fairly chauvinistic and blind in its devotion to nothing. I think Canadians want a new nationalism and these new polls that they have are fine, but I read in the polls that 18-34 year olds agree that this will accomplish something and those are the people who we are really talking about. Those are the people that are going to make it fine for our children or better for our children.

"This new nationalism that I'm talking about is one in which a country judges its greatness by what it can do for mankind, for what it can do for the world. It has nothing to do with how we're thought of," Downie told the media.

Well said Gordy, I agree.

You've probably all seen the news headlines by now and know all about her and what she did.
Just wanted to say how sad of a day this is for my/our city and all the family's involved.

In the news cast they mention how different media groups tried to follow the red van that she was released in today so to expose the area in which she will be living in. As soon as someone see's her they are just going to call the local news station anyway... she should just leave the country.

Well, I learn something new everyday.
And with the amount of stuff I forget, there is a lot of stuff to learn.

When the Rheostatics aren’t travelling the world, or playing the musical equivalent of the tour-de-France, they’re preventing national catastrophes. While on a stop in Calgary, during their tour with the Tragically Hip, Dave Bidini saved Hip lead singer Gord Downie’s life.

As the story goes, it was early in the morning and Downie was munching on a tortilla chip given to him by Tielli. Tragically, the deadly but delicious snack became lodged in Downie’s windpipe.

“He was eating this corn chip and started turning blue, and I really badly gave him the Heimlich maneuver. I don’t even think I gave it properly,” Bidini recalls.

Tielli agrees Bidini’s version of the Heimlich wasn’t likely up to St. John Ambulance’s standards.

“It was the kind of Heimlich most of us would give … like … I know I’ve seen this somewhere.”

Needless to say, Downie was grateful. The Hip vocalist thanked Bidini for saving his life by buying him a souvenir chair from the decommissioned Maple Leaf Gardens.

Just wanted to say Happy Fourth of July to the neighbours. Way to go on hotdogs, and Martin Luther King, and that kick-ass Superman roller coaster thing... oh, and the Foo Fighters. Happy Birthday.

Anybody spinning The Hip as part of their BBQ or Independence bash down there?
