Septemberfest on the Horizon

I do recall having a discussion, with one particular man of Canadian heritage, who insisted that I was wrong in saying Oktoberfest actually starts in September. Well, this just goes to show that I am always right.


To be fair, Kitchener Ontario (formerly Berlin, Ontario) is home to the world’s largest German diaspora. And Oktoberfest there really happens in October. And I think it only lasts a couple days. Can anyone verify?

1950 - 2011


Federal NDP Leader Jack Layton lost his battle with cancer as he passed away earlier this morning. He was 61.

Perhaps with the full knowledge that he may not have much time left, he wrote a final letter to Canadians, which his family released soon after the announcement of his death. Go here to read the letter.
RIP Jack Layton my condolences still in shock! @JackLayton #cdnpoli #JackLayton #NDP #Canada

Jack Layton’s Last Words

I dreamt that I was on this bus going somewhere and it was full (still had no idea where I was going), I realized there were some #Canadians on the bus as well so I started a conversation with them.  Asked them where can I go live in Canada, where its more affordable and all of them said “go to St. Lawrence, its better there”.  Their stop was next and they hopped off to the airport using lollipop balloons, pretty much clearing the bus.  I sat there waiting for my stop and kept thinking … St. Lawrence, isn’t that a river?!?! 0.o . .. so did they told me to go jump a river?!? :’[  .. . did those Canadians hated me!!??! ]

WOW I do remember watching #Game7 from #MSG, how the whole series hinged on that last important game of the 1993-1994 season.  It was going to be a historic day either way, Canucks very first & Rangers breaking the 54 year cruse.  Thankfully Mark Messier guided the Rangers to that elusive Stanley Cup that night, as it was hoisted up all of the past shortcomings faded away.  I have to admit I was super nervous approaching Game 7, just the thought of the Rangers choking that night was a bit too much for me to even entertain.  So let us rejoice Rangers fans, it was such a magical night for all of us around New York, around the nation and around the world.  

LETS GO RANGERS!

Post Script: that same night I pledge to support the Canucks next attempt on winning a Stanley Cup, as long as it wasn’t the Rangers again.  Well today I’m supporting their bid to become the first time Stanley Cup winner & to bring the Lord Stanley back to Canada

Went to see the movie #Thor with my nephew who turned a tender 11 yrs old, but kept my eye on the scoreboard.  I really kick the seat in front of me when I saw Boston was up by a goal with 6 minutes left.  I was hoping like in Game 6 that being with a family member the Bolts would score, so disappointing with the final score that I didn’t even bother to watch the NHL Network afterwards.  Now I’m bound to my word & I’ll fully support the Vancouver Canucks in their bid for their very 1st Stanley Cup trophy.  That’s what I promised them 17 years ago after my Rangers won and when Mark Messier lifted Lord Stanley over in Madison Square Garden.  In all honestly I really wanted to see either my Oilers or Canadiens bring the trophy back to Canada but the Lightning lost last night placed an end to that streak, American teams keeping the trophy in America.  Besides the Canucks never won a Stanley Cup & Boston was like what .. 5?! yea.  

GO NUCKS!!
