@charlieangus104.bsky.social is right of course. What I don't understand is how he seems to be incensed about this but had nothing to say when someone tried to commit a massacre in an Ontario synagogue Sept. 20. And of course, when confronted on this, he blocks me. Gutless.

Yes it's despicable. What happened in Belleville a week and half ago was even more despicable but you still haven't said one fucking word about it. Why? Why was it so fucking hard for you to express any sort of sympathy with the terrified people huddled on the floor of an Ontario synagogue?

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Hey @charlieangus104.bsky.social This is what real leadership looks like. Meanwhile, still not a single word from you on what happened in Belleville last week. Can't believe I used to look up to you. No more.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
And yet you still haven’t posted a single word decrying what happened in Belleville a week ago. Gutless on your part buddy.

Fucking little piece of shit. Really hope they strip 114 of any titles and cups if for no other reason than to see this gutless twerp cry.

“Claims” of virulent anti-semitism?. Five days ago someone tried to massacre 25 people in a Belleville synagogue. Fuck you.

So no. You can't join us. If you really want to be like us that badly then band with other nearby blue states, secede and establish normal relations with your neighbour to the north. But Canadians should never approve admitting any US states if they value their cultural identity.

Currently, California alone has almost as many people as the entirety of Canada. All these American states that want to join Canada would control parliament. No offence, but you're American. Not Canadian. And having overpowering sway in Parliament would unquestionably change the fabric of Canada.

Here's the thing - say we take you. Then the west coast wants in. And Minnesota, New York...anywhere that's traditionally blue. Our government runs on the parliamentary system which means your states would need proportional representation in the House of Commons.

This reminded me of how I used to plug my old iPod into the car to listen on long drives with friends but unknown to them was the fact that amongst all the stuff I loaded on there was the entirety of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. heh heh. Fun times.

A bicycle kick goal in a full blown blizzard. Forge FC vs Cavalry FC in the 2023 Canadian Premier League final was the most Canadian moment soccer has ever produced.

Canadians were posting this same idea on Friday. Thank them. Or anyone else who did the same thing Friday. I love her work but she didn’t come up with this.

An illegal invasion which would trigger NATO and the forces of the Commonwealth to back Canada up. He’d be risking starting another World War, though “risking” probably isn’t the right word since that seems like something he, or his “handlers”, would want.

The thing is, ocean going means they have to get to the ocean from those lakes and the entrance to the Atlantic is also entirely in Canada. You have to get west of Quebec before any US states have shores on the seaway which doesn’t help any US ship travelling east to the ocean.

Well, barely anyone under a certain age. Though Sirius XM has an entire channel dedicated to them that clearly has enough listeners to keep it going for decades now. What's inexplicable to me is why you'd bother posting tripe like this. Who fucking cares? Life's too short.

It always amazes me how somebody can be completely useless at one team and completely brilliant at another. I couldn't wait for him to replaced at Arsenal but have to admit he and Villa are a good fit.

I keep seeing posts about big tech trying to get access to vital water sources to cool data centres. If the very pro data centre current administration are intent on allowing these things to be built, why not allow the use of the giant tap they keep talking about to cool them and leave rivers alone.

This is the way a game should end. Two teams showing their love and respect for each other. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

I get it, and could not agree more. As a Canadian living in the states though, I'm just amazed at MAGA Republican politicians basically siding with the leftist side of Canadian politics. It's an aspect of this that I doubt they're aware of. If it weren't all so tragic it might be funny.

Just saw a post on FB from Cam Cavitt (R Michigan) where he's coming down hard on Ontario Premiere Doug Ford over money he shifted that was originally set aside for fighting wildfires to things like a private plane for ford. Michigan Republicans are now siding with the Liberal Party and the NDP.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
don't forget their fans desecration of opponents flags (like they did in NY yesterday with England's) and booing so loudly as to obliterate the oppositions anthem before the game starts. Seriously, fuck that team. Being very good at what you do doesn't negate cuntish behaviour. Go Spain.

Messi is only ahead of Mbappe by one assist. If Mbappe has a very good game on Saturday, and Messi doesn't score on Sunday - he didn't yesterday - that boot goes to Mbappe. And I would relish watching that.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Would love to see Mbappe get at least a hat trick in the 3rd place game just to rob this little fuck of the Golden Boot as well.

For fuck sake. If Tuchel had subbed in Toney and Rashford 15 fucking minutes ago maybe things would have been different. Why the fuck do England wait until they’re behind to suddenly take the fucking ball forward.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Argentina have displayed blatant racism in the past, more than once. One asshole playing golf with the turd shouldn’t taint the entire team. England are the good guys.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
A team that honours "No Room for Racism" has no room for a fucking racist. I'd pick Rogers every time over that Argentine fuckwad.

I dunno. Dirtiest team left maybe? 'Cause Paraguay's game against France showed them to be right thuggish.

No argument there, but they should have had the opportunity to mess it up in extra time.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Yeah, but then you have to ask...is it odd? I mean, if you accept that Infantino makes Blatter look like a saint, how odd is it? Seems clear that FIFA/Infantino want Argentina in the final because $$$$$$ and they've instructed refs and VAR to do anything they can to ensure that.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Am I the only one who thinks Argentina's win is tainted. Yeah, they made a great comeback but that second ball in the net from Egypt did not need VAR intervention. That goal should have stood and the game should have gone into extra time. The level of corruption in the WC this year is disgusting.

Belgian player goes down. Gets booed by American fans. He spends the rest of the game using crutches. I’d say something sarcastic like “stay classy America” but fuck it. Even without the sarcasm it’s apparently impossible for these people. Goodbye and good riddance.
