Only a handful of aspiring play-by-play announcers have made it to the pinnacle of hockey broadcasting, and one of them is our guest this week. There were no shortcuts for John Bartlett, who worked his way up from local cable TV to Hockey Night in Canada, and stayed grateful and humble for the entire ride.

No, it's not a game of Clue. It's Honorary Lt-Col. Ginger Petty of the Canadian Grenadier Guards in-studio to talk about Remembrance Day and her annual Toy Tea Christmas charity - a highlight of the social season in Montreal.  Also, Franz Kafka as a football coach, and Terry gets disenfranchised at the voting booth and isn't happy about it.

We are overwhelmed by circumstances that compel us to indirectly break our self-imposed "no politics" rule, however briefly, before returning to the mandatory lighthearted and community-related banter, including the Tweet Sheet, Terry's recommendations, charity mentions and the bread cartel. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Along with the obligatory bonhomie and tomfoolery, this week’s episode offers a profile in strength, courage and finding purpose from unthinkable personal loss. We also reflect on the legacies of two fallen cultural icons with deep Montreal connections, and Terry harkens back to the good old days of almost being eaten by polar bears.
