Richard Crouse - Spice Girl Greed and Boozy Hockey Drinks!

Turns Out Girl Power Only Goes As Far as a Dollar
Spice Girls trademark lawyers just shut down a 22-year-old who built her company from scratch at 13, and you already know the slogan they're hiding behind. You spell it differently. SPYCE GIRLZ. You grow it over nine years into something grocery chains across Canada want to carry. You earn $100,000 a year doing it. Then the cease and desist arrives from a band that hasn't made a record together in three decades.

The name is changing. The product is staying. And the group that once told a generation of young women they had the power to do anything is still billing legal hours to make sure one of them can't keep a name she invented at 13. Girl Power always had fine print.

Booze and Reviews: Hockey’s Big Moment: One Last Shot (In Hamilton)
Youngblood hockey movie puts you in a Hamilton arena with one last shot at the NHL, and the thing standing in your way is not just your temper. You have been suspended for fighting. You need this team. You are also the only black player in the room, and you are going to have to figure out which problem is actually yours to solve.

There is a Hat Trick cocktail that pairs well with it: two ounces of Canadian whiskey, maple syrup, lemon juice, bitters, shaken exactly 28 times. Or just buy Canadian Club at an American liquor store for $11. The same bottle runs $46 at the LCBO. We make it. We export it. Then we pay for it twice.
