Robert Way @labradorice.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I think the point is he wouldn't have bent to Tkachuk giving only one team on his trade list. If he wants to be stripped of the C and play the next two years out then fine. But the alternative is he gives his GM a chance to get even some value by not limiting to 1 team. 130
Robert Way @labradorice.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Samoskevich signed a good one. In retrospect maybe he should've been in the Tkachuk deal. 120
Robert Way @labradorice.bsky.social · 21/06/2026And our new Government led by Carney has certainly shown no indication of prioritizing this. If anything, they've shifted more resources away from EVs and towards conventional fossil fuels. 000
Robert Way @labradorice.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I mean there's no one to build them in most of the rural parts. The gov in Canada has not ensured that they got built so it's become incredibly easy to find a charger in cities and along major highways but otherwise its hard to find things that charge, and especially quickly. 100
Robert Way @labradorice.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Yeah but good luck finding those types of chargers in most places. Canada completely botched its EV rollout and left huge swaths of the country with virtually no coverage. Leaving my hometown there's a section of road with 415 km with no EV chargers. It's the only route connecting the province. 100
