@gmforbes35 Technically, they’re not cumulative, so 29%. But still a significant reduction. And not every department is 50/50 labour to operating cost, but even at that, it’s 29/2=14.5% which is around 40k jobs. Still sucks tho.

Correction: 7.5% for 2026 10% in 2027 15% in 2028. 32.5% over 3 years.

Carney announces he wants 7.5% cuts in all departments by the Fall, and 15% by 2026. All you NDP dipshits who voted Liberal because you were scared of Poilievre cutting....... how you feeling now? Retards.

@corydtweets @Sportsnet No one crying here. Edmonton has beat the wheels of Dallas for 114 minutes and their only response is to hope the league steps in and punishes someone for a hockey play. Playoff warriors, play (see Draisaitl vs LA 2022 (?) playoffs)

@Sportsnet Seeing Oiler fans cry in the comments…

"Does anyone in this room think if Connor McDavid gets carried off the ice like that, it's not a five-minute major?" Peter DeBoer on Darnell Nurse receiving a minor penalty for slashing Roope Hintz.

@Sportsnet Is slashing a five minute major? Ever? (Well, Pietrangelo trying to break Drais’ shoulder may be the exception 🤷‍♂️) Pure Theatre here. They know they are outweighed in this series and now they need the NHL to help them. Dallas playing boys hockey in a men’s league. 🤷‍♂️

@SportsnetSpec Hintz diving, then leaving in a game they weren’t winning is pure theatre. He’ll be full skating tomorrow morning before coming to YEG unless there a pulse of a DoP review then he’s “Day to Day”. #playoffs2025

Mason Marchment, asked if the Nurse slash carries over to Game 3: "Yeah, for sure. A lot of that stuff, you just keep in the back of your mind, and if the opportunity presents itself then, you take your chance. We've got a long series here."

This is a too common occurrence with CDN HNW corps and individuals unfortunately

@CCFR_CCDAF @KevinKleinwpg @CMHC_ca Seemingly no end to the LPC wanting one hand in your pocket. Not a fan of this idea for sure.

WATCH: Winnipeg Sun Columnist @KevinKleinwpg says federal crown corporation @CMHC_ca, with help from Carney Liberal ministers, want to tax Canadian home equity savings (if you're a home owner, that's you), worth approx. 4.7 Trillion dollars. Read more below ⤵ #cdnpoli #elxn45

“I need to have on my resume, so I can get a job when this thing is over, that I bankrupted Tesla.” This is an outright admission the top Tesla boycott organizers’ personal financial prospects depend on taking down Tesla, and they must succeed in order to get paid.

Fact check: True. Not a single mention of the outrageous LPC candidate Paul Chiang Chinese bounty scandal In fact, this was their lead story. CBC News never fails to cover for the Liberals when confronted with an existential crisis @CBCNews @ianhanomansing

Whatever your political stripe, this is just wrong in so many levels.

@shanebacon I’ll give you three: 1) Teeing it up “just” in front of the blocks. 2) The Breakfast ball 3) Driving lyour cart off the cart path by tees and greens. 🤷‍♂️

Got some triggered responses to my wood tee/plastic tweet so I wanted to ask … what’s a silly golf thing that gets you fired up that you probably shouldn’t get fired up about?

@zdansuper @ReidSolodan @CanmoreGolf @Albertagsa Congrats Reid!

Want to congratulate Reid Solodan AGS @ReidSolodan from the Canmore G&CC @CanmoreGolf for being recognized last week as this years @Albertagsa Walt Gooder DSA Award. Very well deserved.

@paullanglois101 Louis’ Pub on UofS campus probably fall ‘87 or early ‘88.

“I'm on the last American exit to the north land”... I’m wondering if anybody here has been around since The Hip’s start in the late 80s. When and where did you first see us play?

How do you like them apples? PART 1

@LouStagner Vehemently disagree. “Rub of the green”. Always was. Always will be. Anything else they’d be playing “winter rules”, and these guys (and gals) are not your local members. Play it as it lies. That’s how they do it.

The topic of divots in the fairway comes up on a regular basis here on the old twitter box. I have participated in some of those conversations. My thoughts are scattered across many threads. I think they should change the rule. Lift and drop at the nearest point of relief. You are not allowed to clean the ball. Needs to be dropped within 6 inches of where it was. Not that any of you have asked for this, or will be interested in reading this "manifesto", but here are my thoughts on divots in the fairway. Lastly, I completely understand if you see this differently than I do. No worries at all. I’m positive we would both very much still enjoy a round of golf together. We can agree to disagree as you win a bunch of cash from me. 😃 What is a divot? This is often one of the things that first comes up. People will ask for the definition of a divot to be provided. How do you know what a divot is? How do you know when it is no longer a divot? These are good questions. These are fair questions. As I thought about how I would define a divot, I went to the rule book to get guidance. The USGA would have already had to tackle some of these same concepts with respect to ball marks. I wanted to let that language influence how I defined the life cycle of a divot. What is the definition of a ball mark? How do you know when a ball mark is no longer a ball mark? You don’t get to fix everything on the green. Aeration holes for example. We had a college event this year where greens were recently aerated. There were questions all day on the greens asking if it was an aeration mark or a ball mark because you were not allowed to fix aeration marks. I could find no detailed definitions or decisions around defining what a ball mark is, or what an aeration mark is. I could find no definitions or decisions around defining when a ball mark, or aeration mark, is no longer a ball mark or aeration mark. The rule book simply says that a ball mark is damage caused by the impact of a ball. No real details. Nothing I could find on how to determine if it is no longer a ball mark. Without this info, how can players or officials know how to proceed? (hint: it’s common sense) I am not a rules expert, so this could just be my ignorance shining through and I don't know where to look to get these much-needed details on ball marks and aeration marks. With respect to the definition, we can probably mimic how the USGA has already handled ball marks. A fairway divot is damage caused to the fairway by the impact of a club. And then proceed like we do with ball marks and aeration marks. We use our common sense to decide. The last thing I want to note here. When I ask people that do NOT want to change this rule how often they are in a divot, they will say it doesn’t happen very often at all (and some will add in – “why change a rule for something that doesn’t happen very much?”). I always follow up with “How do you know it doesn’t happen very often if we can’t define a divot? Could it be you’ve applied some reasonable common sense in making this determination? Also – if it doesn’t happen that much, does that reduce the likelihood of someone trying to take advantage of this?” 😉 Play it as it lies! This is always used as an argument to not get relief from divots. Some will say: “Play it as it lies is how the game has always been played and it is fundamental to golf.” The issue I see with that is the concept of “play it as it lies” has changed in the past. More than once. There was a time when you were not allowed to clean your ball when it was on the green. Chunk of mud on your ball? Oh well. Play it as it lies. In fact, in the playoff at the 1950 US Open Lloyd Mangrum was penalized two shots for incorrectly marking his ball on the green to blow a bug off. I have heard several people say we are now allowed to clean a ball on the green due to agronomy advancements. The grass on greens has become much shorter and more consistent than it used to be. Because of the uniformity of the surface, it only makes sense to allow a ball on the green to be lifted and cleaned. That seems reasonable. But of course, by allowing players to clean a ball on the green you are not applying the concept of “sometimes you just get a bad break”, which is what many say about being in a fairway divot – it’s just a bad break and you need to deal with it. My response to the agronomy point above is that those advances have also been made in the fairways. It was not that long ago that fairway grass was much longer than it is today. When you have long “fairway” grass, lies can vary. You can have some that stay perched up and some that sink down. Today, like greens, fairway grass is much more uniform and consistent than it used to be. Back to “play it as it lies”. There was also a time when you were not allowed to take an unplayable lie. Ball in a bush? Oh well, play it as it lies. That rule was changed. The rule on loose impediments was also changed. You used to only be able to move loose impediments that were within one club length of the ball. A large tree branch fell out of the tree and is on the ground just over a club length away and is in the way of your backswing or follow through? Oh well. Play it as it lies. The point here is the “play it as it lies” rule has been modified and changed more than once over the history of the game. People will cheat! Cheaters gonna cheat. They always have. They always will. Would this change give them another avenue for that? Yes. In my opinion, the overwhelming majority of golfers play with honor and integrity. I would not keep this divot rule as it currently is because a fraction of a fraction of golfers will try to abuse it. If you feel strongly about not changing the divot rule because people will cheat, are there other current rules we should change to reduce cheating? For example, what about estimating where a ball last crossed a hazard? This can be very challenging to do accurately when you are 200+ yards away and the ball is curving, and you don’t have a good view. Are the same cheaters we are worried about taking advantage of divots taking advantage of that situation? Are they dropping closer to the hole? Or dropping in a spot to avoid a tree? If they are, should we move to nothing but stroke and distance for those situations because a fraction of a fraction will abuse this rule? Should we find all the rules that the tiny fraction of cheating golfers take advantage of and change them to completely remove that possibility? This will make rounds take forever! Will you occasionally need to call over a playing partner to have a look? Yes. Does that add time? Yes. Is being in a divot something that happens often? No. Do most golfers play with honor and integrity? Yes. In my opinion I just don’t see this being an issue at all.

I can’t think of an easier way to explain this 🤷🏼‍♀️

@DonaldJTrumpJr Well, by this, I’d say, at least we saw his tax returns….

I’m no CPA, but I imagine that this is not in fact tax deductible!!!

@CallawayGolf @ahadwingolf Shoulda said, “Next time, I’ll send Conners in first!” Cheers!, and good luck this weekend 🙌

We were able to secure an exclusive first-look interview with @ahadwingolf on the moment and the aftermath of the tackle seen round the world. This is the hard-nosed journalism we need but don’t deserve.

@J_Georgeson26 @bscrizz @worldhockeyrpt Minot??

@bscrizz @worldhockeyrpt And some AHL or ECHL too possibly

This tournament should never be held in an NHL city again. EVER.

Game changer behind the plate. Continuing to increase physicality. Will make a splash in any conference. #Cobras🐍
