It's snowing again! This gives Torontoist yet another opportunity to bust out a pretty picture of streets clogged with snow, and it gives the rest of Canada the opportunity to go, "Hey, how come those Toronto folks can't deal with a little snow ha ha ha don't they have plows?" Then we say, "No, we don't have enough plows, fuckers, because it turns out everybody else is entirely happy to suck money off us and not give us any of it back." Then they punch us, and we punch back, and it ends with black eyes and everybody drunk at the bar... no, wait, that was that wedding we went to last week! Never mind.

Steve Nash looked as out of place as ever on Sunday afternoon after wrestling the NBA’s MVP trophy away from perennial heavyweights, Shaquille O’Neal and Allan Iverson. With the trio all adding spectacular seasons to their resumes in 04-05, it was the Canadian who took home the hardware. The Victoria, BC native edged O’Neal by seven first-place votes, in what proved to be the fourth-closest tally in the past twenty-five years. Only the sixth guard to win the award, Nash will now join the names of Bob Cousy, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson in the league’s history books. Nash and former Chicago Bull, Bill Wennington are the only Canadians to ever win the award… OK, just checking if you were paying attention.

We at the Torontoist would like to apologize for how repetitive our basketball reports are becoming. As sorry as we are, though, it appears that nothing is changing.
