Flames to walk in Calgary Pride Parade this weekend

The way some people consider relationships with attractive women (or any women) a mark of achievement is repulsive to me. I also think it's distasteful to talk about "snagging" women, as if they were a thing or an animal.

And no, I don't think speculating about in what terms they (Backlund, Baertchi or their apparent girlfriends) think about it is in any way relevant here. None of that is any of our business.

How about just appreciating beauty? And the fact that they're doing that together, I find that awesome. They must be great girls.

You sure extrapolated a lot from very little. Honestly, who s### in your cheerios? You sure see the people in a very grim light.

I don't think so. That talk and those ideas are a large part of our culture. I don't think someone is a bad person for being wrapped up in it. Or that's how I see it anyway.

I am of course extrapolating what people say into what they think, but short of telepathy it's what I've got. But I deliberately did not make it a response to any specific message, because I don't want to pick fights.

And yeah, people also have different ideas of what's innocent and what stuff means, I get that. I obviously feel that it's not really that innocent, but I'm not going to hold it against anyone if they think it is.

Really great to see Sven all over the place with these charity/social awareness events. Picking up some big points from Burkie I Bet.

He's certainly acting like he's a Calgary Flame.
