I used to love 'debating' over pints at the pub. No matter the topic, there was a risk of things getting heated. Despite all that I never went over the line enough to get punched in the face. I try to tweet the same way.

@stphnmaher 🤣 Seriously though. Politics can be a blood sport and when your political culture defaults to electing pretty much one party the crocodile tears about not getting projects is kind of rich.

Nova Scotia overlooked. Did I get this right?

@miltonlaura Or an opportunist who twists the way the wind blows. If her party were die hard Canadian nationalists she'd be draped in the flag

This is an ugly look for her. And if she's appealing, doesn't it pretty well confirm her status as a separatist? #cdnpoli

@jm_mcgrath @noraheuer That's two to three full time teachers for a year

The private jet never flew in government service and still somehow ended up on the Sunshine List.

@jengerson Journalistic (focusing on under served communities), limited editorializimg (as to not tarnish the impartiality of the primary news operation) and amateur sports.

Anyway, another point for my longstanding argument: CBC should be solely a journalistic outlet. Entertainment content should be produced by a totally different entity.

@jengerson I'm a CBC supporter but spot on. The mandate needs to be tightened.

If there is a private sector investor willing to try something edgy and controversial, great. But how in the world does this align with what any single person in this country is looking for from the CBC right now?

Who in the CBC thought it would be a great idea for a taxpayer funded broadcaster to back a politically charged Borat style comedy show?

@jengerson This feels pretty basic to me. Same thing that has been happening in Quebec for 50 years. Speak, but know that the other side will use those words.

It's not a question of not being able to criticize from the outside; We're just asking you to be conscious of your own positionality, and how what you say -- and how you say it -- will be weaponized by bad actors.

@stphnmaher If the ballot stuffing is true, that alone should invalidate the vote. A party should be able to run their own nomination battle as they see fit, but this does feel like potentially Liberal members who live in the riding might have been screwed over.

"There were 34 more ballots in the boxes than there were recorded voters ... It is inexcusable in a contest decided by 19 votes."

@prairiecentrist @OrbitStudios Its a convenient chart. The MP split is literally 2/3rds in the red section which represents 2/3rds of the population.

@mattgurney @jengerson I'm getting serious deja vu vibes. I'm inclined to believe the authorities who are saying not to worry but if it does go wild we are in deep crap and that does give me a strong pause.

I remember talking with @jengerson about this — if there is a pandemic now, no matter how nasty it is, you’ll have a hell of a time getting anyone to take it seriously. Not a great situation.

@Lea_EFC Its a foul. Its shitty that it took a 5 minute VAR check to get there but Pablo grabbed his arm

That’s corruption and cheating in plain sight

@JamesPearceLFC If you have to look at it for this long you've got to go with the original decision

Kavanagh will disallow this

Wow

@JamesPearceLFC I'd be livid if that goal was against us. But we don't get that call

This is a huge decision.

@David_Moscrop I hadn't played since the last expansion save for a chunk of time in Season 11. The crafting at top levels is as interesting wrinkle. I do like the simplified skill tree.

@Inhocmark A long time. But so far I am too!

@David_Moscrop How long since you played? This season is quite different. I'm digging it

I’ve started a new Diablo run and I’ve accidentally made my character ginger Jason Kelce.

@JohnMcEwen21 @gregbradyx @KarlTheMartian Doug Ford has been around a lot longer than Carney so that's a partisan stretch to make

I will for you, Doug Ford is working hand in hand with Carney. Ontario is screwed. The fix at both levels is easy but it will sting a bit at first. All levels of government need to slash spending and that means ending a lot of wasteful programs. And all this needs to be done while not raising taxes.

I can only speak for what I see around me, in my community, in Ontario, & I assume across the country - but given the desperation for (not kids, ADULTS) those under 30, the horrible job market, the out-of-reach rental/housing market, & the numerous other ways (yes, we did just a smidge of this during the pandemic) we've robbed people born after 1995 of opportunity, responsibility, accountability, joy, success, prosperity, & even being able to FIND OUT if they have a great work ethic.... They have every right to be angry, furious, confrontational, aggressive, & unforgiving. Our parents worked to fulfill a social contract to allow opportunity for our generation (70s/80s kids). We still had to put the time in, do the digging, accept the failure, accept starting on the bottom rung of the ladder (those were the only jobs I had from 1989 as a 17-year old busboy until moving to Toronto at age 36. You start as the new guy & work your way up. It's my entire goal in my career & my time away from my work now: FIX THIS. It's really us....against them. You either want a brighter future for this generation, or you do not. It is absolutely no coincidence Canada is where it is - & we've signed up for (at least) a 15 year contract with a federal government that has CLEARLY destroyed the economic fabric & social contract we all had agreed was in existence for decades. Do we want to help people under 30 or not? Do we want to ease their suffering or worsen it? Do we want better health care, better schools, & better opportunities or not? I absolutely am well aware how much trouble we're in the next 2 1/2-3 years with this tired, self-important, arrogant, & unpatriotic federal government. We have ONE more shot at this to save Canada, IF we have that. Get thinking about it now. Vote for municipal leaders who will challenge politicians at other levels of government when it appears they're not getting things right. It's a knife edge to save Canada. Many of us want to stay, want to remain, want to fight - but watching what we've done to our youth, our future, our cities, our towns - I know we owe an entire generation an apology for so, so much. They've tolerated our mistakes & malfeasance. The next time we vote - at EVERY level of government - it must be about them.

@IanDoyleSport At least that match was against Chelsea...

Steven Gerrard song bingo winner today is 41 minutes 40 seconds

@samvitty Not sure what has impacted him this season but he is a shell of what he was. Has he been played too much considering his lack of preseason prep? Is his head turned? Or perhaps its my fault. I put his name on the away shirt I bought in the summer. I jinxed him

Get Mac Allister off. #LFC

@hassinator Absolute garbage over the last 10, 15

SHOCKER

@gregbradyx @KarlTheMartian Yet not frustrated enough to actually mention it.

@KarlTheMartian Quite frustrated by that, also. No question.

"You are living in the material world of policies" -Graham Platner I'm down a rabbit hole with this guy. Left wing but with a very relatable take to the issues in the States. I get why he's getting the crowds.
