@DetroitTankCity Actually 7-17 looks pretty good right now.

The Tigers entered last July 9 at 59-34 after beating the Rays on July 8. They lost that day and went 28-41 the rest of the way to finish the regular season at 87-75. That included an utter collapse of 7-17 in September to lose the division. This isn't a new development.

@aurban91 One rebuilding decade was enough.

The one thing I’ll say is, no, the Tigers don’t need to rip it down to the studs. They need a 1B, 2B, 3B, RF and bullpen arms. But they can’t go back to square one every time they have a bad season. The goal has to be to win at some point. Endless rebuilds aren’t that.

@Sheehan_Sports @DetroitTankCity No, just an optimist. Me too. We can’t - well, we shouldn’t - blame ourselves for trusting the front-office professionals to make good decisions. If we’re disappointed, imagine how the owner feels. Harris better not buy any green bananas.

I feel catfished by the Detroit Tigers. All the signs were there. But I ignored all of them because I wanted to believe in a mirage. But I believed, and therefore I’m a moron.

@APTNNews @ehoneybunAPTN So that makes the claim true? Look, nobody denies that many terrible things happened at the schools. But insisting on a claim you refuse to prove, maybe can’t prove, weakens your credibility on every issue. Put up or shut up about these “graves”.

@EvanLSolomon Still pretending you haven’t seen the demographics of Melanie Joly’s riding? Words ARE easier than principled action, aren’t they? Do you think anyone believes you guys still care if Jews are consistently menaced and attacked? We see you for what you are.

Hatred and antisemitism have no place in Canada. The display of a Jewish person in effigy is vile, deeply disturbing, and a clear act of hate. This incident must be taken seriously and investigated by the appropriate authorities. To Jewish Canadians: you are not alone. We stand with you. We will always defend the safety, dignity, and belonging of every community in this country.

@cie1947 Yes it’s awful. When so many bodies have been exhumed, how dare anyone deny?

First Nations decry denialism on anniversary of suspected graves found at B.C. site Phillips is also part of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, which issued a statement on Monday decrying “residential school denialism.” “Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc energeticcity.ca/2026/05/25/fir…

@SeanCarleton @Niigaanwewidam Yes it’s awful. But tell me please what is being done with all the human remains unearthed at $12 million expense to taxpayers?

Residential school denialism spikes at predictable times, anniversary of Kamloops announcement (May 27), Orange Shirt Day (Sept 30) etc. Denialists target these - rage baiting and cherry-picking to platform hate, as @Niigaanwewidam and I have pointed out: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2023/0…

@minnysan @APTNNews I like to keep asking them what’s been done with all the human remains that have been discovered. No answers yet.

@APTNNews Only one problem: Zero graves have been "discovered".

Today marks five years since the discovery of unmarked graves in Kamloops, B.C. and Montreal will be holding an international tribunal this week with a focus on residential schools and unmarked graves. APTN’s Savanna Craig shares more on the tribunal. youtu.be/L8BDG4xC0eA

@APTNNews Thank you for persisting with this story. Could you please also report on what’s being done with all the human remains that have been discovered? I trust they are getting respectful reburial after the appropriate rites?

@Pagmenzies @stphnmaher @djbip1986 From René Lévesque onwards, the PQ has always played strictly by the rules. The BQ, or elements of it, cheated with "spoiled" ballots in the '95 referendum, but otherwise the PQ earned legitimacy, acceptance, and respect. Any Alberta separatists would do well to emulate that.

@stphnmaher @djbip1986 There’s an entire separatist party of 22 MPs from Quebec sitting in the House of Commons. That’s not bugging anyone. Why would this?

MP who gave up his seat for Poilievre appears to favour referendum on Alberta secession.

@cselley You can and should make a distinction between constitutionally-imposed injustice (unfortunate but inevitable) and boundaries drawn unfairly for partisan advantage in densely-populated areas. Canada has done well in avoiding the latter.

Good piece. But rep-by-pop has always been a sham. Kingston and the Islands has 134,415 people. Labrador has 26,655.

@Khelsilem Don’t care, thanks

I need to talk about Sen̓áḵw. This word has been in the news for years, and I still hear it mispronounced constantly—by journalists, politicians, and well-meaning people who just haven't been shown how. It's a word from the Squamish Language. Let me walk you through it. 🧵

@ryangerritsen He's senile. The U.S. is rebuilding capability as a start towards Mars. Does he really not understand that? Or does he just want one more headline?

Witness what will probably be David Suzuki’s last time on CBC. I don’t this they appreciated his take on the Artemis mission.

@AdamZivo if it's "potential" it's not a "discovery", FFS. It's a suspicion. A still-untested suspicion. So who claims to suspect it? The people getting money to claim to suspect it. Why don't they test the suspicion? Because they're getting the money.

As expected, this article originates from the Canadian Press. It’s clearly not journalism, but rather stenography on behalf of an Indigenous group — a public relations piece, really. If journalists want to be activists/publicists, then they shouldn’t act surprised when public trust in the media continues to crater.

@TristinHopper People who have kids, and people who don't have kids, feel sorry for each other.

The parents' job, in turn, is to make your childless, orgiastic existence feel barren and empty. It's a delicate dance.

If you are childless and meeting up with friends who are parents, it is your duty to provide them with lurid personal tales of sexual adventure. You are a peddler from distant lands, and they are humble farmers curious as to news from the outside.

By my read, we are the only country on earth who *officially* punishes citizens more harshly than non-citizens for the same crime. I challenge you to find me a Canadian who doesn't believe it should be *exactly* the other way around.

@Prominent_Bryan For that matter, why don't YOU put aside the endless horse-race crap and talk about policy? "What's good for the country?", instead of "what's good for this or that party"?

Liaisons has the Liberals at 43% and CPC at 31% Carney's approval at 59%, very much in line with Abacus Like I'm genuinely asking: what's the plan for the Conservatives? Just waiting for Carney to become unpopular? I'm not even saying I know what the CPC should do. But the situation seems just... Really bad? Canadian voters have just decided that they loved Carney and I'm not sure there is anything the CPC can do about it

@Prominent_Bryan Why do they need to "do" anything? There's a majority government. No election for more than three years. All the Conservatives have to do is provide good policy ideas and point out Liberal errors, inconsistencies, failures, and dishonesty. That's enough.

@dubsndoo Chrétien’s country-boy French was often mocked by franco snobs. (IMO he was a very deft politician and a pretty good PM, by the way.) But the joke about him was: “I’m spik deux langwich - Hinglish da best!”

I’ve never understood why Canadian Prime Ministers needed to be fluently bilingual; Jean Chrétien could barely speak English.
