Sarah Mills: Figuring out what went wrong for NDP isn't a difficult task
Sarah Mills says it shouldn't be too hard for the federal NDP to figure out why it did so poorly in the spring election....
This is my annual attempt to get ahead of the curve on all-star games.
It’s Pro Bowl and NHL all-star weekend, and in these times of picking a side on every issue, these games generate a lot of negativity. These events, like the two in Orlando and St. Louis respectively this weekend, are criticized for a lack of competitiveness. Fan bitterness has actually led Major League Baseball to give the winning league home-field advantage for the World Series. That makes no sense.
These games are meant to be a celebration in sport. Television coverage lets us get to know the athletes better, and fans in host centres may get a chance to meet their favourite athletes at an event. These games aren’t meant to rival a championship game or a best-of-seven playoff series.
So please, if these events bother you so much, turn off your TV and stay off Twitter and Facebook. Get on with your day.
