@WPGMurat Was there a reason you can recall as to why the Jets drafted Perfertti over Jarvis? I know it was seen as quite the turn for Perfetti to still be available at 10. Was he seen as the future 2c at a time we had a decent amount of wingers?

@JLazzy23 @DailyFaceoff @bet365ca @ColbyCohen36 @ProducerVick The guy just sounds like an idiot with a grade nine education every time he opens his mouth. Maybe a bit more time hitting the books at the USNDP might have helped.

I don’t mind that the Golden Goal puck ended up in the Hall of Fame. I understand why a moment like that gets preserved. But Jack Hughes isn’t selfish for wanting his family to have it, especially when he was simply asked about it. Presented by @bet365ca #bet365

@BraydonMaz @BobIrvingCJOB They changed it 20 years ago. Get over it. Need a safe space from the anthem, snowflake?

Jeez, the woman doing the Cdn anthem at the Sharks game doesn’t know the words to Oh Canada. Brutal.

@PeteinStJohn @wyshynski @imdelak @JeffMarek @Arda Don’t forget the love he has for @DownGoesBrown. Their “subtle” shade to each other is the real gold medal event of these olympics. Puck Soup forever!

@imdelak @wyshynski If you haven’t figured out by now that Wysh’s tweets are 60% aimed at @JeffMarek and 40% at @Arda, I don’t know what to tell you.

USA once again the scrappy underdog against an unstoppable hockey dynasty. 1980 all over again.

@wyshynski There is nobody better at trolling Canadians during international hockey competitions than Greg. From a Canadian, I say bravo sir!

Canada and Friends advance to the gold medal game.

@Knytanders Holy fuck do you whiny little Swedish meatballs bitches ever give up? Stick to cross country skiing, seems to be all you guys know.

Here is something form my curling interested followers. Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet took some photos as well. And guess what? aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/a/… (Translated fram Swedish): "Here Canada is caught by Sportbladet's camera We took Canada's advice – and put our photographer on the line CORTINA. Canada's curling masters accuse the Swedish team of having placed a cameraman in the stands with the aim of setting them up. So Sportbladet went to the hall in Cortina to do just that. - I guess they behaved today, they should have learned their lesson from last Friday, Oskar Eriksson speculates about the outcome. What do you think? The Olympic curling arena in Cortina is a powerful piece, gently submerged between cars, hotels and restaurants that all go under the epithet "luxury". It was originally built for the 1956 Olympics, and then housed both the opening ceremony and the figure skating under the open sky. Since then, a roof fixed with heavy steel beams has been added – but it has proven to be far too low for the ongoing men's curling tournament now that the games are back, 70 years later. Not for the game itself, that is. But for the discussion about a sport that is now in the midst of a crisis of confidence. – The soul of curling is dead, says Marc Kennedy with a serious look. The 44-year-old has just been involved in beating the Czech team, and his Canada is thus well on its way to the playoffs. But in the mixed zone after the victory, no one is talking about the match. Instead, it is the ripples from the chaos of the past week that are still sweeping over us. In the curling world, it has been dubbed “Boopgate”. Boop, as in the English word for jokingly poking someone. – What do you mean by crazy week? Kennedy jokes when it comes up again. On Friday, Canada's match against Sweden ended with an open argument on the ice between Kennedy and Oskar Eriksson after the Swedes repeatedly accused the Canadians of cheating. Television images also clearly showed how Marc Kennedy, in violation of the rules, poked the granite part of the stone with his hand after he let go of the handle. During the four days that followed, the situation has almost degenerated, and as recently as Sunday, elite player Michael Fournier accused the Swedish team of having paid a "mysterious Zapruder figure" (the man who filmed the Kennedy assassination) to get photo evidence of cheating. The Swedes firmly deny this. But Sportbladet still thought this sounded like a very tempting idea, so during Canada's meeting with the Czech Republic on Monday, we parked our photographer in the stands along the line. Because they couldn't cheat again, could they? After the photos from the meeting with Sweden made headlines all over the world? After even innocent updates from junior tournaments in Canada were flooded with critical comments on the national federation's Instagram page? And after Kennedy was made fun of in various joke pictures that are now circulating at high speed across the internet? No, at least Oskar Eriksson, who was the main target of the Canadian anger, didn't think so. Do you think the Canadians played completely clean today? - I assume they did. They should have learned their lesson from last Friday, right? Sportbladet did not capture any pictures that proved that Marc Kennedy touched the stone during the match against the Czech Republic. But he is not alone in the team. Instead, here are a total of six pictures from two stones sent by the team's biggest star, skipper Brad Jacobs. The eighth round was also the last. Then the Czechs, at the score of 2–8, gave up. When the Canadians came down to the mixed zone, Sportbladet confronted Marc Kennedy with the pictures. – If you want to talk about the match against the Czech Republic, that's fine, Kennedy replied. This is from the Czech Republic match. – I have 50 videos of people who ... I'll go ... But that's okay, We've talked about this so much already. It's a shame that it came up during the Olympics. We've all had to deal with it now. But all the teams have the right to call a referee now, so if the Czech Republic were not happy with something, they were more than welcome to call a referee and we could do the same. That's how it should work. said Kennedy and concluded: – I can guarantee that there is not a single double touch out there that is done intentionally to cheat. That's all I can say. When we then asked to also speak to Brad Jacobs, the woman in charge of the press on site asked us about our nationality – whereupon the Canadian team declined the interview. Where did they leave the trust in their sport still sinking into quicksand. Because it is in a crisis, according to Marc Kennedy himself. – This game of trying to catch people red-handed, and all to win a medal, sucks. Unfortunately. But it is what it is, the sport is developing and those in charge really need to take a good look at this. The Canadian believes that curling has historically been a sport of trust, where the players have effectively judged themselves and where small transgressions are either dealt with directly or met with leniency. A gentleman's sport. – But it is difficult for me to use the word gentleman after this week. But we love the idea of ​​self-government without the need for referees. That is where I think curling is in a bad way now and I think that comes from a thirst for medals sucks. Unfortunately. But it is what it is, the sport is evolving and those in charge really need to take a good look at this. The Canadian believes that curling has historically been a sport of trust, where the players have in practice refereed themselves and where small violations are either dealt with directly or met with leniency. A gentleman's sport. - But it's hard for me to use the word gentleman after this week. But we love the idea of ​​self-governance without the need for referees. I think curling is in a bad place right now and I think that comes from a thirst for medals, says Kennedy without addressing how the Canadians themselves, through their actions, have affected the chance for self-governance. Are you worried about the sport's reputation? - Yes, maybe. I haven't thought about it that much but there are probably some relationships that have been damaged by all this. Yes. What should happen now? - I don't know. There are so many matches during a year where you can't have referees at the level we have here. So if we don't have any of the soul of curling left, we're in trouble. I don't have the answers, but it will be interesting to see. After that question, Canada's press officer breaks in and asks if anyone has a question about the match instead. No one does, so Sportbladet asks another one about the future. If there is to be self-governance again, it has to be built on trust. How are you going to win back the trust of the Swedish team? – I don't know. I'm not worried about that. Their trust? It goes both ways. As I said, Oskar did some trump cards too and I would never confront him like that. I told him that here in the mixed zone. That I would never, ever do that to you. So, that's what it is. Forward. It's sport. It's sport, and a very beautiful one in Cortina's historic arena. With three hanging floors, it resembles an old Shakespearean theater and you can't complain about the drama that unfolded here. Not even on the intrigues. But while Canada is now marching on in the Olympic tournament, the Swedish team is already snowballing. This after a heavy loss to Germany on Monday – on the court next to their Canadian rivals. There has been speculation about Team Edin's future but all we are told today is that they will continue through the upcoming World Cup tournament. What happens after that no one seems to know. Neither with the team's – or the sport's – design. – I hope that curling can be developed technically. A bit like in tennis, that you have a certain number of challenges per team per match. It's not easy but there are things you can do that we haven't done, says Rasmus Wranå. What does it take for you to regain the trust of other teams now? – We are good friends out there with basically all the teams. It's not about trust. It's just about us trying to make the sport better. That's what we're trying to achieve and I hope that this will be a good first step towards that."

@jbrowaty I for one think we need a city wide plebiscite on this project and I expect your full support for such an action, Mr. Browaty. Can I count on you?

Excited to see the new draft plans for making the north part of Henderson Highway a complete street with a centre median, proper sidewalks, cycling amenities and a new structure for Bunns Creek! winnipeg.ca/henderson

@jbrowaty @ianwalkerwpg @safespeedswpg Hi Jeff, Resident of Bonner Ave here. Why do you lie? Give me all the sidewalks. Blvd is snow and ice. Bonner is a collector street? Tired of my kids dodging cars going 60 km+ on Bonner while we try to walk. Do you leave your parents basement to actually talk to constituents?

@ianwalkerwpg @safespeedswpg The residents of Bonner haven’t wanted sidewalks due to the cost and loss of parking (can’t park across a sidewalk). Bonner is a major local collector so 30 km/hr is a non-starter. Drivers need to slow down around peds and peds should be on Blvd when possible.

@jbrowaty's constituents want @safespeedswpg in their community! Isn't it a shame that Jeff continues to advocate for unsafe condition for people that want to walk and bike in North Kildonan... #wpgpoli #love30

@POP_WPG He means that money should be spent increasing both frequency and ridership, as opposed to new buses that will ultimately do nothing for either of those. If you’re going to try and slag one of the biggest champions of our city at least have the guts to tag him @brent_bellamy

If ever you needed proof that the average new urbanist will not be our saviour, this guy seems to be going out of his way to help provide it. Yes, we obviously want people to drive less/use transit more (any transit!), but why does he believe electric buses would be empty? 🤔

@owentoews Or you could present the real story, bud. MB housing let the building fall into complete disrepair to the point it was uninhabitable. They put it up for tender. Private company bought it, invested, and restored it. Without that action we would be staring at a empty parking lot.

We stop at Edison Properties' Smith Street Lofts on the walking tour of Winnipeg I do sometimes. 373 units of public housing were lost there, to profit this individual. Now the proceeds of homelessness will pay an army of do-gooders to handle the fallout. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

@NahanniFontaine I for one wouldn’t recommend calling the Ministers office to complain directly. You shouldn’t try contacting them here, as many times as you feel necessary: gov.mb.ca/legislature/me…

@JennyMotkaluk @Mayor_Bowman Got a feeling that more than a few of the 150,000 Indigenous citizens living in Winnipeg would feel a bit different on this take.

@Mayor_Bowman I say again. I am not a Settler. I am not a Colonizer. I am a Canadian and I share that identity with 37 million other Canadians including all the residents of Winnipeg.

Winnipeg has come too far on our journey of reconciliation to turn the clock back. Standing up for Canada means fighting to build a more inclusive city for all including Indigenous peoples. Most Winnipeggers understand this & it’s why this candidate will once again lose. #wpg22

@JennyMotkaluk @Mayor_Bowman Just stop already. Honestly. I feel embarrassed for you.

@Mayor_Bowman This is a reminder to Winnipeggers why I ran against you in the first place. Politics of fear and division have been your specialty. A Mayor of a Canadian city must first stand up for Canada. It’s clear that you agree that our country should never have existed. Shame

@sharinglung5 @paigesellis Who the fuck are you to tell a woman if she feels she is being sexually harassed or not?

@paigesellis I wouldn’t say this was directed at you but the viewing audience. I also wouldn’t count this as sexual harassment either. This falls into the category of being offensive for offensive sake.

There’s something grimly poetic about being sexually harassed by a man in a hockey jersey while talking about alleged sexual misconduct by hockey players.

@81Bayer @wyshynski You should have stopped before “What’s your point, Greg?”.

@wyshynski Let’s find out what kind of reaction(s) you’ll have come Tuesday night when Dallas another team that needs a win to make the playoffs.

What’s your point Greg?

@domluszczyszyn @nhlburnerboi @JetEffectWPG @TheAthleticNHL Someone calls you on your clear Leaf’s bias, you don’t like it, and you respond with a meme suggesting their unimportance. It’s your standard move. Take criticism, offer a polite informed rebuttal if you do and move on as most reporters do. Otherwise it just looks petty.

@WordsNdFire @nhlburnerboi @JetEffectWPG @TheAthleticNHL tell me what the difference is between the way the two people interacted with me first and what response they got because of it twitter.com/domluszczyszyn…

I usually love the @TheAthleticNHL… I was excited to read what people had to say about the #nhljets at the TDL, until I read this. I want to read about hockey when I pay for a subscription. They discussed what every other team needs, other than the Jets. Awesome.

@domluszczyszyn @nhlburnerboi @JetEffectWPG @TheAthleticNHL You are very smug for someone who sticks some numbers into excel spread sheets. Your insight is valuable but your disposition to people who ever question you or have any criticism is very off putting. Try some congeniality once in while.

@nhlburnerboi @JetEffectWPG @TheAthleticNHL

@ctvwinnipeg Honestly at this point who cares what she thinks. She wasn’t elected by any Manitoban. Not one. She’s an embarrassment of a place holder premier that will be swept away when time comes.

@hustlerama You’re not angry online, are you?

*mutes all Wordle tweets*

@mremis Turned on channel to watch. Frozen on this image from tune in. Solid advice to be sure but Olympic trials it ain’t.

Tried to watch US Olympic Trials on NBC tonight. Channel was barely functional. Seems to be an issue across Winnipeg. Incredibly frustrating.
