the scene in the Simpsosn where Moe is at the bachelor auction and is stared at with disgust by all the women until he walks into the reject pile. there are three Moes labeled Auston Matthews, Brady Tkachuk and Connor Hellebuyck. The disgusted women are labeled the People of Canada

I know Auston went to the WH, but is he not at the SOTU? Just wondering. I don’t think it makes much of a difference.

I’m drinking a maple flavo(u)red beer at 9 AM while my wife and our friends boo the Tkachuk brothers on TV, think I’m getting the full cultural experience here

Heritage, for its part, was so upset about this reporting that it threatened to sue Vox to try and stop publication. But we are confident in our source and our reporting. Here's a gift link to the piece that Heritage tried to kill www.vox.com/on-the-right...

The toxic culture behind the right’s civil war
A Heritage insider alleging “openly misogynistic and racist” conduct shines a light on the right’s inner workings.

I hope that Marner goes somewhere that makes him happy. Athletes are people too. They get held to outrageous standards of loyalty and selflessness.

Just as chanting “free Palestine” does not make something antisemitic, yelling it doesn’t magically mean that targeting a Jewish professionals event in a Jewish space isn’t antisemitic (or violent, or senseless, or craven).

This should not be allowed. Florida does this again and again and they injure people again and again and no one does anything.

If you stop and think about it, it's kind of crazy that before the series we all said "here come the Panthers, they're going to try to injure you and be insanely dirty" and then they do exactly that. And everyone in any position to do anything about it is like haha shucks playoff hockey!

two Ottawa residents with no job to report to tomorrow 😥
Pierre Poilievre, feeling wood. He looks like a weird little creep.Brady Tkachuk getting a screwdriver stuck into his helmet. He looks like when they take the mask off of Darth Vader in Jedi.

We should thank [our] lucky stars that Trump chose to do this in the most stupid way possible,” says Lucan Way, a political scientist at the University of Toronto who studies democratic backsliding.

How Trump lost Canada
Trump’s “51st state” talk brought Canada’s Liberals back from the dead — and undermined a key American alliance.

If the Leafs had won tonight, I would be going on Metro Morning tomorrow to talk about it from a fan’s perspective. Let’s just say that tomorrow’s listeners are lucky to be spared from my reflections.

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

I’m relieved about the outcome last night but I don’t want another election in a year, which feels like a pretty certain outcome as no party has any reason to prop up a Liberal government??

So, tonight: 7:00-9:00 PM: a panel of forty CBC experts micro-analyze early results from Lobster Bay, NS showing 12 votes counted, and debate what this means for Mark Carney 9:30-10 PM: overdose of information, election is won or lost 10:01 PM: likely to call it, that's the ballgame
