Just a bloke - Canadian, English…it’s called football not soccer. Ipswich Town and England.

If you don't want to get booed at a hockey game by the nicest most polite people on the planet, maybe try being the kind of country that doesn't get booed by decent people.

True enough.
Fleury is a wing nut but Gretzky…like, what the actual?!

Gretzky played for the Oilers but was born and raised in Brantford, Ontario.
Fleury…Oxbow, Saskatchewan.

Let Smith stand as the target.

Danielle Smith shows more loyalty to USA than to Canada. She’s far more interested in keeping the oil & money taps flowing than in doing the right thing.

She speaks of national unity crisis. Well Albertans, it seems you have a choice to make: Canada or the USA. #politics #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith puts petroleum over country Even Stephen Harper has found the courage to speak out against Donald Trump. Why won't Danielle Smith?

Stephen Harper thinks we should stand up to Trump. Jason Kenney feels the same way. Danielle Smith? She'll surrender anyone and anything to prevent the oil and gas industry from having to stand up for Canada.

I also note how the US flag is above ours…literally putting America above Canada.
Disgusting betrayal.

Given the ever ramping-up of politial nonsense, I’m hanging on to “Nothing in life is forever”

Also, from Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: “Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end.”

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media:

Is it a story? Sure.

But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

I worked 35yrs in banking and can say with some confidence that we are functionally-challenged in everything outside that world.
I would say “total sh*t” but why soil a shiny new platform with potty talk?

From his dream team of “the best people” in 2016 to this gathering mob of the worst people.

Good point.

Are these mail-in ballots?
If so, where from? Overseas?

I’d sooner trust the worm…alive or dead.

“Ex-Congressman denied AG appointment” would not be a disappointing headline…
