Unlike Neil Enock, the Mayans never made it to Los Cabos. This little snippet of ancient history comes courtesy of the author, something he likely confirmed while doing extensive research for his new book, Mayan, Atlantis Returns. So there is a certain irony that it was in this touristy town in the Spring of 2012 that the story first came to […]

Whether it’s a fact or the equivalent of a Ryan Lochte fairy tale depends on who you ask. But the Calgary Stampeders offensive lineman insists he hoofed a 62-yarder – barefoot, no less […]

In the case of Calgary Flames callup Garnet Hathaway, summoned from the American Hockey League’s Stockton Heat and arriving at the Saddledome on the same day that his longtime chum Chris Kreider was visiting with the New York […]

He promised to build up the border and keep out “bad hombres,” but Mexican-Canadians already feel the walls closing in thanks to President-elect Donald Trump.
