The USA does not suffer from a little brother complex in very many arenas. The hockey arena, however...

I forget how that 2010 tournament ended - must be my feeble Canadian memory. Can you remind me?

Well said

Terrible scene in Montreal, where as soon as the 3-on-3 overtime reached five minutes all the players got too tired to keep going. Fans are begging for a shootout but the players have brought out little cots and are curled up for naps.

The NHL warned us this would happen. We should have listened.

An all timer

Okay, I've seen enough. Time for Jeff Skinner to spend a game watching from the press box, am I right?

Why the water Trump ordered released in California won't help Los Angeles firefighting The water released from two California reservoirs will likely go to waste, not help Los Angeles with firefighting, experts say.

CBS NEWS: “.. the water released from dams at Lake Kaweah and Lake Success is rushing into a dry lakebed in the Central Valley, where experts say it can't flow to Southern California and will likely go to waste.”

The annexation threat and economic coercion rest on the premise that Canada can't manage without the US.

If we agree that we can't manage without them, we're enabling the threat and coercion.

YouTube video by CBC News Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

Well, the mask of fentanyl didn’t last long.

Pretty clear this isn’t anything Canada can negotiate or diplomacy our way out of. Trump is blatant. He is conducting economic siege warfare in order to starve Canada into submission.

We are, in a sense, already at war with Trump.

Rescind the invite for the USA to attend the G7 summit Canada is hosting this year.

Make it a G6 summit, and loudly announce it will focus on how to deal with an authoritarian US government that can no longer be trusted to be a friend and ally in any way.

Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

Bruce Cockburn wrote "kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight" if you use that phrase for the next decade and want to know the origin.

Never give up. Hope is all you ever need, even a sliver. We don't get to choose the time we are here but we can damn well push to make that time better.

It's fun to be a fan of a western conference team that sees eastern conference teams as a realistic threat

Hey buddy - I can't message you. But I can meet later tonight if you're up for that.

I'd love that. I'll message you tomorrow sometime. Enjoy the game!

You were supposed to tell me next time you're in Edmonton!

I also read somewhere that Connor McDavid has drawn something like 17 minor penalties *all season*.

A lot of shit goes uncalled against him. He can't be cross checking people in the face. The first thing led to the second thing. The second thing deserved a suspension.

All those things can be true.

Yes. Correct. Call the effing rulebook. That's the reasonable thing that people are saying.

The Bouchard example has not been front and centre, but still applies, fair point.

Got me
