Callable, but I can see why it was not given. There does seem to be a tendency across all competitions, where a larger team seems to get the benefit of the doubt from refs. But this is all visible. My criticism of the conspiracy tack is that it is rampant, murky, and sadly, degrades discourse.

As per reffing I have achieved serenity as an engaged viewer by deeming events as “callable” or not, rather than cut and dry. Egypt were magnificent! Having a goal called back, (callable foul in the build-up) the same 3 players combine for the same goal - gorgeous! Contact on Salah in the box? -

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS!?!?! Does casual conspiricism have to invade all avenues of life now? Yes FIFA corrupt, yes Argentina shit administration, but to push the horseshit that that team made it the final through nefarious means is so blah.

It’s perfectly viable to have a discussion of where the investment is gonna come from for such crucial utilities. To characterize it as intransigence is a bit disingenuous.

By definition, of course it is. Any time an elected representative votes counter to the set of policies that they ran on, well “you’ve got (undemocratic) soup going, man.”

Do you think Tom‘s endorsement of the liberals in the last federal election kinda sealed that deal?

Well, this is a dreary proposition. We can’t still be subscribing to the great man of history theory… Shouldn’t we form a movement, of people who think about this stuff all the time, seeking input and motivation from Canadians? I don’t think we have time to wait, to quote B. McDonald “move, or die”

Then he lost the ABC - anybody but conservative vote (Harper was roundly despised by this point in 2015) in Quebec when he refused to finesse a position on the racist laws being proposed by the PQ government of the day and called it out for what it was.

Mulcair WAS the leader of the opposition, and I think might’ve become Prime Minister if he had not let the Trudeau liberals flank him on the left, with deficit spending and a promise of proportional representation.

Douglas, Lewis, Layton, Singh all leveraged power in minority parliaments to pass legislation matching party priorities, and this is with First past the post.

The X factor was on full display in Qatar and to hear the Canadian men’s hockey team talk about this Olympics, Crosby was a huge motivating factor for them.

I’d say that the PK and the PP are comparable to set pieces in Soccer but with definitely more elements of chaos in them. But more than the on ice/field performance of these iconic players, it’s the leadership that I am driving at.

Leo Messi was quite old when the whole 2022 Argentina squad played at the next level for him to win the WC. Crosby has the same effect on younger Canadian players. He was sorely missed.

The Conservative Party put out a policy/fundraiser attacking Trudeau and trying tie him to small business grant given to an edible insect startup. Its making the rounds today. I’m not sure when it was first issued

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

I hear you! what could possibly interest them in a political program that disparages any concerted community actions that protect people from emissions, spills, GHG-driven climate crises…? It’s a poser

This is not a question that can be answered by a polity, because to participate would negate its existence… There was a contest a while ago to find the Canadian equivalent for “as American as apple pie” and the winning entry was as “Canadian as… possible under the circumstances”
