It Could Be Time to Say Goodbye to Your Favourite Toronto Maple LeafsIt Could Be Time to Say Goodbye to Your Favourite Toronto Maple Leafs by Jeff BorsukThe Toronto Maple Leafs made a massive mistake when they let Kyle Dubas go. Even if the NHL makes the inappropriate decision to reverse the bans, the Toronto Maple Leafs should want nothing to do with either of them. The Toronto Maple Leafs making a moral decision based on basic human decency isn’t “woke:” It’s just common sense. The Toronto Maple Leafs shouldn’t have any interest in hiring either Bowman or Quenneville because what they did was disgraceful. The Toronto Maple Leafs have tons of options for their new GM and coach and don’t need to scrape the bottom of the barrel to consider hiring the people who oversaw the absolute most disgusting franchise in pro sports.

ZUS told CBC it sends thousands of these forms to Canadian authorities each year in order to provide or request information on citizens. 'Wake-up call'That's also a concern for Laura Tamblyn Watts, founder and CEO of the national seniors' advocacy group CanAge, who calls it a ludicrous reality.

The activity led the Mexican government to raise the warning level and to close schools in dozens of municipalities across three states. Still, the real warning residents listen for — as it has been her whole life — will be the urgent tolling of the town’s church bells. The volcano’s activity temporary halted flights at the capital’s two airports over the weekend. Velázquez said only three of the volcano’s 565 explosions since September had been big, and the current activity was not the greatest of this century.

Notorious creeping bellflower is beautiful and difficult to get rid of in Sask. Creeping bellflower is not a native plant to Saskatchewan and is very difficult to get rid of once in the garden. (Émile Lapointe/Radio-Canada - image credit)The creeping bellflower is a somewhat notorious and unwanted garden-guest, well-known for being incredibly difficult to remove permanently, but one gardener says it can be managed. Creeping bellflower is so difficult to weed properly because of its intricate and "ingenious" root system.

To demonstrate this, we present examples of two Ontario couples’ retirement spending budgets provided by Janet Gray, a certified financial planner with Money Coaches Canada, based on her work with clients.
