The best Metro Morning radio host there’s ever been in recent memory (sorry, Matt) is called to the Order of Canada. How many U.S.-born conscientious objectors can say the same?
@Cmdr_Hadfield
Canuck astronaut Chris Hadfield tweets from space, staking his claim to coolest dude in the Twitterverse. He’s at 43K followers and rising fast.
Fiscal cliff jumping
The U.S. averts economic disaster and refrains from plunging the rest of the world into recession – for now.
Christie Blatchford
The Post columnist hasn’t been the same since taking up with militia types over the native standoff in Caledonia. Now’s she’s describing Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence’s hunger strike to protest the feds’ Bill C-45 as an act of terrorism.

Hockey politics
Don Cherry is pushing the xenophobe button again, complaining about young Russian hockey players stealing jobs from Canadian-born pucksters. Can’t get through the annual Christmastime world junior tournament without sour Grapes pulling that tired one out of the bag everytime a player from an opposing country says Canucks play dirty.
