@Jordan44_ @agentofascent @FriedgeHNIC Stanley Cup wins in Carolina and Pittsburgh. Three cups not good enough for you? 😂

@agentofascent @FriedgeHNIC Hes never been good. Dont know why they ever hired him

In his post-lottery media availability, Jim Rutherford says that, after the draft, he will step away from day-to-day operations, but will remain with the Canucks as an advisor and Alternate Governor

@HockeyAgent1 C'mon, weren't you already an unofficial Canucks AGM at one time with Zadorov, Kuzmenko, and others in Vancouver? 🙂
PS: that TV interview while getting an IV screams "culture" 😙

Thanks for the love… but y’all hire and fire GMs like it’s speed dating. I’ll pass on becoming the next speed bump 😂
Taj@taj1944
Hopefully you get an interview for the GM position

It is impossible that an office established less than a year ago has the ability to effective manage such a large amount of funds.
This is not the Manhattan Project.

The Pentagon's Departmental Autonomous Warfighting Group (DAWG) was formed late last year with a $225 million budget. For 2027 they are requesting $54.6 billion. DAWG intends to unify all US autonomous operations under their command; land, sea, and air.

Bill Maher's monologue recycles classic fearmongering by anthropomorphizing current LLMs as conscious beings that "want" to "live," blackmail humans, or "fight back." That's nonsense. Models like GPT and Claude generate outputs based on patterns in the training data, the immediate prompt, and the context. There is no inner life or "self" to protect.
The evidence is far weaker than the monologue suggests. Any appearance of "self-preservation" comes from prompted role-play or contrived, heavily engineered lab scenarios. Engineered stunts are being sold as evidence of sentient rebellion.
As Prof. Melanie Mitchell, a computer scientist at the Santa Fe Institute, put it: "The best thing we can do is real, fundamental science. We need to study AI systems with rigorous research methods, not improv games."
Real AI challenges do exist. But claiming today's models are plotting against us relies on exaggerations, misinterpretations, and emotional manipulation. We can summarize this clip as manufactured panic.
I'm hoping Bill will bring other experts to balance this, he usually does.

Notice the parallel to Ukraine: ultimately nothing threatens authoritarian regimes more than the undeniable proof they always (always!) fail their people.

This is what democracies can achieve—and why Taiwan poses such a profound threat to the Chinese Communist Party: it stands as a living, undeniable example to the Chinese people that prosperity & freedom can exist without authoritarian control, directly challenging CCP legitimacy:

The trillion dollar mistake.
Heather Exner-Pirot@ExnerPirot
New RBC report: between 2015-2024, more than $1 trillion in investment exited Canada—the largest capital exodus in Canadian history. Six sectors where Canada can attract back investment: Oil and gas ➡️ $705 billion Electricity ➡️ $635 billion Mining ➡️ $200 billion Agriculture and food processing ➡️ $205 billion Defence and space ➡️ $30 billion Read the full report here: lnkd.in/e3gbwvKk

@patersonjeff And devalue the already too long regular season further? And it will soon be longer. If your team isn't in playoff position after 84 games, too bad so sad.
English
I want an NHL play-in because I think winning a division should come with a bigger perk than home ice advantage. Your first round opponent should have to survive a play-in while div champ gets additional rest. Teams 7-10 are fairly interchangeable so make them work a little harder to qualify and reward the best teams with more of an edge. Plus I think it would be good theatre

This smells bogus. Blaming the workers for "sabotage" shifts the blame for a poor product onto the users. There's also an implicit threat: you will agree that 2+2=5 or you're next in line.
The plain truth is, almost nobody wants to use this turkey.

Fortune: The survey says 29% of workers admit sabotaging company AI plans, and that rises to 44% for Gen Z. Companies are finding that AI rollout is colliding with a basic workplace fact: people resist tools they think will erase their role. That sabotage ranges from ignoring approved tools and using shadow AI to feeding weak outputs into workflows and even skewing reviews so the system looks worse than it is. The logic is not technical failure first but trust failure first, because workers who hear constant claims that AI can replace entry-level white-collar work start treating adoption like self-harm. That reaction can backfire fast, since executives in the same survey say workers who refuse AI are more exposed to layoffs, less likely to be promoted, and less likely to move into leadership. --- fortune .com/2026/04/08/gen-z-workers-sabotage-ai-rollout-backlash/

@BlokeQuebecois Semi-believable: a much smaller Canada is rumoured to have had the world's third largest navy by the end of WW2.
Today it's a struggle to build a couple of passenger ferries 😅

The day will soon come when the RCN has more combat-ready ships than the RN. Unbelievable.
JBone 🇨🇦@Bone348
Based on RCN projections, the surface escorts fleet would ~30 hulls by ~2040, almost double the closest European Navy I believe...

You have a sad, lazy, ignorant and typical ageist take. Bet you don't know who Dave Plummer is, and have too much hubris-copium in your veins to appreciate what he says
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Typical boomer take. All of those engineers are monitoring a LOT and communicating with teams backing them up; they need access to lots of information at any given moment. This kind of setup is the norm now because it's what fulfills our needs, not the aesthetic dreams of people on the outside looking in.

@patersonjeff @GoldenKnights Maybe, next season, the new head coach of the Canucks will be Torts?!? 🤣

In addition to enjoying another great read from Colin, this is also a great reminder of the absurdity that Francois Allaire is not already in Hockey Hall of Fame. Beyond the obvious — lotta wins and the butterfly — he changed the game for goalies and those trying to score on them
InGoal Magazine@InGoalMedia
Another great feature from goalie coach and author Colin Hodd, this time looking at how the impact of Francois Allaire on the position goes far beyond the butterfly. Find out how Allaire changed the game at InGoal: ingoalmag.com/2026/03/31/so-…
