very sad news; Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip has terminal brain cancer

[Renee]

I feel your pain, Mel. I lost my Dad to brain cancer about 11 years ago and I also lost my Mom before then but to a muscle disease. I didn't get their ashes but they were freed into the ocean. Even though it was a long time, I still miss them terribly and will always love them.  Hang in there and take care of their ashes, look after yourself, they would want that for you. Hugs.



Oh, maybe there's a special place they always wanted to go and you can set them free there?

You mean like the inside of a vacuum cleaner bag?

No, that's kind of friggin mean. Renee

I have eye problems from the tumor and also cataracts. If my medical doesn't cover it then I'll be dipping into my RDSP, although I'm hoping to use that for fun stuff lol

Cataract removal is covered by your provincial health care.

I know someone that had that procedure about four years ago..



They one eye and wait until it's healed and then do the other.

I am not really surprised by this.

I would love to see their final, final show in their home town of Kingston. But. I would settle for Winnipeg or Calgary.

Maybe you can watch it on CBC if they broadcast it.

I think I remember reading somewhere that they were seriously thinking about airing it on tv. I hope so!

I will PVR it if they do, but I still want to see a final show.

I might not get to see a show on this farewell tour.

[Annie]

Maybe it will be on Netflix or something like local tv?

CBC is dropping hints they will broadcast the final show in Kingston. I hope they are not teasing us.

I'm sure it will be on local tv's. With all the hype about fans being burned on tickets, they'll broadcast it, I'm sure  ac_smile

That is not uncommon with every major concert that comes to Calgary.
