This week, reporter and lifelong Toronto Maple Leafs fan Shawn Gibson talks about why he doesn't want the Blue and White to win the Cup this year. In a shortened season and amid COVID restrictions creating a lack of fans in the building, that would also mean no Cup parade. He'd rather see them win it all another year.
Also, longtime columnist Wendy King worries about the fate of pets that have been adopted during the pandemic. Many animals are now being returned as people prepare to possibly return to their regular work environment. She calls it "an ugly trend" and feels badly for the animals.
