Congrats to Brian Utley, a 350-pound Calgary high school teacher, who won the Trident Splash National Cannonball Championship on Wednesday in a lighthearted contest that featured elaborately costumed competitors leaping from a five-metre tower into a swimming pool. Read more (and video) at

Supporting MMP referendum in Ontario
On October 10 Ontario voters will have the choice of keeping or changing their government. They will also get the choice to keep the current first-past-the-post electoral system, or bring in a Mixed-Member-Proportional voting system.
For the record, I am supporting the betterment of our democracy and urging Ontarians to support the implementation of the MMP system of electing our representatives.
Here are some links to the issue (h/t to Gary S and www.voteformmp.ca ).
