McCainiacs were protesting at a Joe Biden appearance:

“We can’t move past the politics of division unless after this election is over, if God willing we win, we reach out to the people in the outer parking lot,” he said. “I know you find some of that obnoxious, but…, we’ve got to reach out, we’ve got to end this. Somebody’s got to be big enough to stand up and end this.”

“They’re good folks,” he said of the protesters. “They’re committed to John’s notions, but we know what they don’t know. We know that we can do this. This is not some hat trick. This is not something beyond our capacity.”

It may have originated in cricket (which I forever associate with cucumber and ginger sandwiches on the field) but tis a well-known term in Canada: three goals in a hockey game scored by a single player; or a goal, an assist and a fight, all in one game, in honour of Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings. And all that from someone who made Canada her home only briefly and only once stepped into Maple Leaf Gardens.

I was happy to learn you'd returned for a brief visit - but sad to've missed you. Another time!

I lived in Ontario for five years when I was small and have a just a tiny bit of maple syrup in my veins.
