My sympathies to all those and their families who were killed and injured in the Halloween party crush in the Itaewon district of Seoul, South Korea. I visited Itaewon off and on 10 years ago and I am sure that some foreigners were also killed and injured in the disaster.

I have tried to find them at Walmart, Simons, the Bay but most retail outlets don't have them. Are they still produced? My father always told me to keep one in the pocket just in case.

Anybody willing to bet if Canada will make it to Qatar next November 2022? Is anyone here going to watch the Mexico Canada game tonight Nov. 16th in Edmonton? I will just say will be in a third place finish in the CONCACAF division and will be in the World Cup.
