... that I indeed was a student. I have to go to the school board.
At the school board, I need to FILE AN ACCESS TO INFORMATION REQUEST AND PAY FOR IT to get my Ontario Student Record.
Just decay, everywhere you look.

Here's a minor example of the state of things in Canada:
I need proof that I attended the elemtary and secondary schools I attended. Neither school has any proof (other than my name on the wall...). I kept my old report cards so I can prove it to them, but they refuse to say ...

@EastAsianPete @TouchlineX Yes, Portugal/Colombia play at same time. The Uzbekistan game is just listed as match # 72
English
@TouchlineX Are they not having two matches playing at the same time anymore in the group stage?

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: The FINAL Group Stage game of the 2026 World Cup will be:
Uzbekistan vs Congo/Jamaica/New Caledonia! 🔥

@jamessharman @footy_prime The surprise should be that we landed Germany, not that we missed out on England or France/Norway. The only KO match Toronto is hosting won’t have a group winner and that was determined a year ago. With that in mind and being smallest venue, can’t really be shocked or upset.
English
@Sid_Seixeiro For Toronto’s group E, I, and L matches, you can pretty well guarantee that FIFA will be scheduling the less interesting of the two matchday fixtures from each respective group at BMO. I wound not expect to see any Pot 1 teams in Toronto besides Canada.
English
Portugal just qualified for the 2026 World Cup.
If FIFA don’t schedule one of their group games for this venue they’re drunk.

@KeeganMatheson The fact that you have to vote for 10 players for an MVP award is pretty ridiculous

@Baseball_Jenn His effort sucked, period. On the lead, on the run, on the slide. He was running as a sure out instead of a chance to score the winning run in the bottom of the 9th in game 7 of the World freaking Series. It was a dream scenario that he gave up on as soon as it was a ground ball.
English
I've previously pointed out that Febles was standing right there - IKF did as he was told. Hate it all you want, but that's not on IKF. It's also not why they lost the game. #BlueJays

As the discussion over the bases-loaded play in the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 continues, one thing I haven’t seen pointed out: Blue Jays third-base coach Carlos Febles marked the exact spot where he wanted Isiah Kiner-Falefa to lead off. There are so many elements to this one play. Should he have taken another step? He was told not to, a point reinforced by other players, who have rightly pointed out that the fear of getting doubled off prompts coaches to keep runners close to the bag. Should he have run through home? Maybe, but it’s damn near impossible, with the speed of the game, to know where the throw is taking the catcher, and sliding is the standard practice. Regardless, it’s illustrative of how many decisions go into a single play — and illustrates the nuances of the game that so often go unseen.

@WayneRandazzo I like the bunt play in a tie game, but down a run, I agree it’s hard to give up an out with your season on the line. People are often forgetting that getting down the perfect bunt is becoming a lost art and isn’t a sure thing anyway.
English
I truly hope this killed the sac bunt forever.
Talkin' Baseball@TalkinBaseball_
IKF moves Vladdy to third with a sac bunt!
English
@TommyBombadill0 @NFLFrascella Definitely not excusing him. He blew it for us, for sure and ultimately the fault does lie with him. Didn’t like his lack of enthusiasm and aggression as the chance to be the winning run.
English
@phteven79 @NFLFrascella Are you fcking kidding me? The coach is supposed to scream at a guy in the split second he doesn’t take a good secondary lead!? It’s the PLAYERS FAULT
English
Isiah Kiner-Falefa, IKF, is getting the initial blame for the Blue Jays World Series loss… he has NO SECONDARY LEAD off 3rd here, Rojas makes a tough play and throws him out by an inch to save the game… standard baserunning mechanics and the Jays are World Series champs
English
@BenSteiner00 Didn’t like brining him in with 2 out and none on in the 8th. He had to sit in an anxious dugout during the top half instead of being able to stay loose in the bullpen. Maybe this afforded the coaches to talk strategy with him and I know it’s worked before, but I didn’t like it.

“I’ve lost everybody in here a World Series ring, it feels pretty shitty…we were two outs away from the World Series and I was the one on the mound.”

Incredible playoffs, but one bad pitch and it got away.

@JoshuaHowsam IKF 100% thought he was going to be sacrificed in on a fly out and wasn’t mentally prepared for any other scenario. He’s got to be bouncing and ready to go. Ran home in his head as the sure 2nd out instead of the dude who could WIN THE WORLD SERIES! No enthusiasm. Pathetic!
English
@WolstatSun Didn’t like bringing him in with 2 outs in the 8th with nobody on - seemed unnecessary. Now he’s got to sit an anxious top of the 9th in the dugout instead of staying loose in the bullpen. I know it’s worked before, but this is peak pressure

@JohnnyGiunta_ Why are we bunting when we’re down a run and giving up an out?
English
@KeeganMatheson There was a pitching change before this play where there was an opportunity for the coaching staff to go over certain scenarios with their base runners in scoring position. I’m guessing that didn’t happen.
English
Addison Barger called it a “bad read” as he was trying to be aggressive off the bag.
Off the bat, he’d expected the ball to get over the shortstop, but have a shot at falling short of the centre-fielder. #BlueJays
English
Addison Barger just hit the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history.
English
@KPILLAR4 Pulling him after exactly going twice through the lineup feels like this was a predetermined move though, which is something he took shit for 2 years ago. There was no reason he couldn’t have let him finish the inning or yank him after giving up a hit in that same inning.
English
This was cause they were up 13-0. Why give them a chance to figure him out or allow other teams to see him more. Plus he deserved the moment to come off the field to a standing ovation. On regular rest if needed for game 5
Jon Desormeaux@JonDezz19
@Chill1612 @Yat907 @KPILLAR4 Thanks for the October lesson, Game 5 is Friday , is that normal rest period for a pitcher? He was always going to be ready for game 5 . He could start game 5 if needed whether he was pulled or not
English
@Tapouthepp @BlueJays @MLB @Sportsnet A starting pitcher needs to complete 5 innings to qualify for a win
English
@BlueJays @MLB @Sportsnet Can someone explain to me why
Trey Yesavage didn't get the W?
He left after 4 innings, and they were winning at the time 3-2 and were never down or tied.

@MarcNixon24 Canada needs to spend $ on defense and border security to equal the 2% of GDP NATO agreement. That puts a feather in Trump’s cap and the only way he’ll end the tariffs is if he “wins” in his mind. Canada will always lose in a full fledged trade war, so let’s not go there.
English
Pierre Poilievre BREAKS SILENCE & unveils his tariff response plan, and it’s pure 🔥.
Logical, clear, and 100% Canada-first.
This is what real leadership looks like—finally, someone standing up for Canadians! 🇨🇦

I love these guys. The originators of talking heads in sports, but they’re the best to ever do it. No outrageous takes, no seeing who can scream louder, no acting. Just dudes talking sports after school.
