For anyone looking for motivation, Johnny Hicks played on Delta’s Varsity team in his U15 Draft Year with 6 GAA. Now he’s the starting goaltender as a freshman as well as winning the NCAA Championship, not losing a game along the way. Development is a marathon, not a sprint.

What actually happened A Burger King worker in Canada (Vancouver) who had worked there for about 24 years was fired after taking a small meal home at the end of her shift. She took a fish sandwich, fries, and a drink She had asked her manager if she could take food home because she forgot her wallet There was a miscommunication about what she was allowed to take The company treated it as “theft” and fired her.

@SportsnetSpec I think he’s trying to do to much ! Trying to beat 3 guys all the time ! Use your linemates and pass the damn puck

Worst five periods of playoff hockey I've ever seen McDavid play. He is strug-gling.

@SportsnetSpec We don’t always agree but this %100 spot on the truth

When Karlsson won his Norris trophies he had 101 points and was -26 in 2022-23, and had 82 points and was a -2 in 2015-16 Bouchard has 95 points and is +25 If the NHL writers don’t give Bouchard the Norris because of his defensive game then they are massive hypocrites.

The Oil Lie Oil isn’t rare, it’s also not made from dead dinosaurs. It’s the 2nd most common liquid after water and is the Earth’s lifeblood. The scarcity myth was a Rockefeller lie to dramatically increase the oil price. The system tells you that oil is liquefied dinosaurs (biotic theory) so you believe it's scarce and pay whatever they want. Lie. Oil is abiotic—a liquid mineral generated by the Earth's own engine through high-pressure and high-temperature processes in the mantle. It is the lubricant for tectonic plates. Depleted wells from the 70s have been found to be fuller today than before. Why? Because the Earth's system pumps it from the subsoil. It doesn't run out; it regenerates. By extracting it on a massive scale, we are drying out the Earth's gears. This is why there are more earthquakes and creaking faults: we are stripping the oil from the engine. The fossil theory (coined by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 19th century) is the greatest economic hack in history. If oil came from organic matter, it would have a biological signature (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.) that would degrade. Crude oil is pure polymeric hydrocarbon. The Thomas Gold Thesis This expert (whom the system tried to discredit) proved that methane and oil rise from the depths of the mantle. Hydrocarbons are primordial constituents of the Earth's formation. By calling it fossil, they tell you it's a resource that's running out. If Humanity knew that oil is like tap water for the Earth, the geopolitics of the parasites would go down the drain in a single day.

Canadians vote for several Conservative MPs. They win. Once in parliament, they flip to the @liberal_party achieving a majority. Hence all of the votes in question were nullified. Many Canadians are hailing this as a victory for democracy. It is truly astounding.

It's 33% for federal and Quebec is 25.75%. You then add nearly 15% sales tax (provincial and federal) + property tax, school tax, carbon tax, etc. You end up between 65-70% of your income taken. You think that it is false outrage to not want the government to take 70% of your income?

That’s fast

The research behind this is wild. Your sperm carries a set of instructions that tell your genes when to turn on and off. A Duke University study found that THC rewrites those instructions. The more weed in your system, the bigger the changes. It goes straight for the genes your future embryo needs in its first week of life. I had to read the "day 3 crash" part twice. For the first three days after fertilization, an embryo runs entirely on the mother's DNA. Day 3, the father's genes switch on. If those genes carry cannabis damage, the embryo just stops growing. Fertility doctors see this happen in their labs: embryos that fertilized fine and looked healthy on day 2 go completely still by day 5. Boston University tracked 1,535 couples trying to have a baby. Men who smoked weed once a week or more doubled their partner's miscarriage risk. That number held up even when the woman herself never touched cannabis. And the miscarriages clustered in the first 8 weeks, right when the father's damaged DNA would be doing the most harm. Duke also found that the specific genes THC alters in sperm overlap with genes linked to autism. One of those genes, called DLGAP2, helps brain cells communicate with each other. It was changed in cannabis users' sperm. When researchers bred THC-exposed male rats and checked their offspring, the same altered gene pattern showed up in the pups' brains. The damage crossed a generation. Weed has gotten way stronger over the last 30 years. THC content was about 4% in the 1990s but nearly quadrupled to 15% by 2018, and modern dispensary strains regularly sit at 20-30%. Concentrates go up to 95%. Quitting for about 11 weeks (one full cycle of sperm production) reverses some of the DNA changes. Not all of them. Duke's lead researcher says men should stop at least 6 months before trying for a baby. Half of your kid's genetic blueprint comes from you, and right now, THC is editing that blueprint before conception even happens.

Trudeau prorogued government to avoid a non confidence vote, shut down government for over 8 months, resigned, inserted Carney on a liberal Party leadership race that included his godsons mom, two members he kicked out and his BFF that was resigning anyways. Ran on a bullshit platform of TDS that he’s broken over 4 timeline promises on. Then backdoor bribed cushy positions for floor crossers to gain a majority. Democracy, Am I right? ✊🏼

Canada - most quit after U18 because they didn't "make it". Canadian system has Younger goalies getting Rep training, games, and practices. #Hockey #HockeyX #Goaltending #Goalies *Canadian goalies made up ~73% of NHL netminders in the mid-1990s, dropped to ~51% by the 2010s, and now sit around 26% (roughly half of what it was 20 years ago). *Current top-10 NHL goalies (by metrics like GSAx, SV%, or rankings in 2024–25/2025–26) are dominated by Americans (Hellebuyck), Russians (Shesterkin, Vasilevskiy, Sorokin), Swedes, and Finns. *NHL goalies typically become regulars on rosters (defined here as their first season with at least ~20 games played, marking a consistent backup or starter role) around age 24, with a range of 23–25 being most common over the last 20 seasons (roughly 2005–06 through 2024–25). What's going on? What is @HockeyCanada doing wrong? *Early specialization (as young as 7–8): Kids go full-time goalie very early, often with private coaches and goalie-specific camps. This creates technically precise but rigid, robotic movements — “predictable goalies who don’t think anymore” and lack creativity/athletic improvisation. Other countries (Sweden, Finland, USA, Russia) emphasize athleticism, reads, and problem-solving longer.thescore.com *Rep/“super teams” culture: At AAA/AA levels, coaches and parents prioritize winning, so the “best” goalie plays 80–90% of games. The backup gets minimal reps, faces less adversity, and often quits out of frustration. This creates massive chokepoints — far fewer kids get meaningful ice time to develop.thescore.com *Post-U18 quitting wave: If you’re not drafted to major junior (CHL) or clearly on the NHL path by 17–18, the message is often “you didn’t make it.” Many talented but late-blooming goalies walk away. The CHL pushes 19–20-year-olds into pro hockey faster than NCAA or European systems, which let goalies develop until 22–24 with more games and less pressure.

The last 2 tweets from Marilyn Gladu, side by side. Politics is so greasy…you really can’t make this shit up.

Crazy thought: If the Oilers had just waived Stuart Skinner they would have an Ingram/Pickard Tandem, Cap Space, Kulak and a 2nd Round Pick.

CRA has 60,000 employees for 42 million population and USA, IRS has 89,000 employees for 377 million population. Canada one employee per 700 people, USA one employee for 4,236 population!

This is why prices are so high in Canada. We've increased the money supply by 400%. Stop blaming climate change, wars, or whatever other bullshit excuse. It's money printing and govt deficits.

🚨 LOOK AT THIS CHART Money supply (M2) growth since 1968: 🇨🇦 Canada: 10,784% 🇩🇪 Germany: 6,273% 🇨🇳 China: 5,844% 🇺🇸 United States: 4,155% 🇯🇵 Japan: 3,811% Canada printed more money than every major economy on earth. Every other country started levelling off. Canada’s line goes VERTICAL. This is why your dollar is worthless. This is why homes cost $1 million. This is why groceries doubled. This is why food bank visits hit 2.2 million. This is why your savings buy less every single year. It’s not “global inflation.” It’s a printing press that never stopped. IT’S THE CANADIAN PESO. The government devalued YOUR MONEY to fund spending it couldn’t afford.

I’m not on Israel’s side I’m not on Iran’s side I’m not on Palestine’s side I’m on whoever’s side gets these fucking immigrants out of my country and returns this place into pre-2001 when it was a proper nation to be proud of.

@RoseAlberta1 @grok confirm

Did you know the leading cause of DEATH in TEN year olds in BC is drug overdose? Now you know. HOW?? HOW can people stomach the politicians in power right now? 🤯 BC politicians are invested in “safe supply” drug vending machines. HOW is this not viral? SOS🇨🇦
