So this month the Toronto Sun published a piece about the Allison Inquiry that called vaccines "a crime against humanity at worst" and demanded arrests, and the National Post published a piece deeming Avi Lewis not just an enemy but a danger to Jewish people, with a thinly coded appeal to violence.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. First observed in 2013 as Orange Shirt Day, it is a day for public commemoration, learning and reflection on the history and intergenerational trauma of the Residential School System in Canada.

Don't let the Oilers losing to the woefully dreadful Canucks distract you from the fact that Stan Bowman hired Mike Babcock and signed Alex Formenton

Yeah. That’s exactly what happened.
After the hearing, Schmitt insisted he'd gotten nothing wrong, but he seemed less sure Smith had committed perjury.
"I don't know if Jack Smith's lying or not. It was the only game - Atlanta was the only NBA game or men's college basketball game that night at 7:30,
Schmitt told HuffPost.

Given Dreger’s recent broadcasting that Jets may have to consider accepting a more futures-based deal (which they always should have done, and certainly more earlier in the summer to flip it to roster players if that was their objective, but alas), this deal may be closer than we think

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

We all know the Jets are only going to be claiming a goaltender off of waivers this year. They should be all over Dylan Garand (NYR), could consider Mads Sogaard (TBL), maybe Clay Stevenson (WSH) - but they'll probably go for a vet like Rittich (NJD), Vanecek (NYI), or Samsonov (SJS).

"CFIA confirmed to CBC News it conducted several inspections on Driscoll’s berries [...] and found chemical levels above the legal limit in Canada. [...] However, the CFIA says the inspections did not lead to recalls, or a corrective action was implemented and the investigations were closed." WTF?

Bombers traded a 2027 1st and conditional 2028 2nd for their post-Collaros era QB and he single-handedly lost the game for them tonight after looking good enough in the first half. Yikes

Canadian patriotism and anti-Trump sentiment at an all time high, Canada's premier sporting event, you know there's only one choice for the halftime act: an Alabaman country singer who played Kid Rock's MAGA festival, has lyrics praising Robert E Lee, and promoted an anti-trans Bud Light boycott

Hey everybody, I’m taking the advice of every elected official I’ve ever yelled at who’s said “if you think you could do such a good job why don’t you try running for office”. Schools are super important for all of us, not just those of us with kids in the system, and I’m excited to fight for them.

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.

If one of the "rewards" of affluence is that you get to opt out of the services everyone else uses -- roads & transit, aviation system, schools, healthcare, etc. -- then those services are inevitably starved of resources & decline. We have to force affluent people to be invested in them.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.
