Or at least tied. Detroit and Ottawa need to lose. It'd put them into a tie for 3rd in the Atlantic with Montreal and Detroit.

Fun fact: if the Leafs win tonight, they could be in a playoff spot.

From 14th in the East.

lmao stupid league

A simple list for the holidays to help you explain to everyone how much Doug Ford is fucking up this province.

That's just poor from Arsenal. I get the defense is shoestring right now but it's still not good enough.

Feeling like this would be the World Cup that England actually wins because of the bullshit new format and they'll receive the trophy from a man as awful as their history is.

There truly is no more satisfying trope than a bunch if random thugs thinking, "hey, (hero) is only one man/woman/non-binary/non-human. We can take them!"

And my point is people should stop being impressed.

It's a big problem that we're fed all these stories in the context that they're separate from the three big issues facing the world today, that cover 95% of our problems:

1. Climate Change
2. Income inequality
3. Authoritarian Creep

Even those three are linked.

I honestly don't know but it doesn't lessen my response. If tax right offs are your only calculation, then the spirit ofvthe donation is also in doubt.

Go to any charity or person in need and offer them a nickel and you are vastly out-donating our richest institutions. People are just out of touch with how skewed the landscape is financially.

Not each. As a group.

$30,000 from each bank.

Bank profits in Canada totalled $70 BILLION this year alone.

Applause for this is wild.

CBC Radio is hosting its annual live shows to fundraise for food banks thing and, while we can discuss the issue of one if the richest countries in the world needs donations to feed its peope later, a real surreal moment when the crowd erupted into applause over a $150k donation from Canada's banks.

two men wearing sunglasses are standing next to each other with their arms raised in the air . Alt: Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger, from the movie Twins, dressed identically, throwing tan jackets over their shoulders.

Congrats. Unfortunately, it's all wacky hijinks from here on out.

Leafs about to go on a little run here to make missing the playoffs that much more painful, huh?

What Good, my man

If you don't enjoy baking cookies, you might just be dead inside.

It's great that the Leafs are currently getting scoring from the big boys but, at some point, they're going to need some production from the grinders on the team, like Matthews or Nylander.

This is all still so surreal to me. Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry are not supposed to know each other exist. They're entirely separate species of celebrity, their ecosystems aren't supposed to overlap. This is weird. It feels weird. It's like finding out your teacher is dating your aunt.

At best, he's old and needs a nap which really should demonstrate why he shouldn't run a country.

I dunno if the US has a Trudeau analog. He's more like Hugh Grant as PM in Love, Actually.

I've a few boxes that I should get rid of but no idea who'd take them

It's not worth it to add oxygen to anything around him. Just ignore.

If Carney wants a big nation building project, the science, basic research and R&D communities getting built up to self-reliance would be worth a lot more than pipelines.

In every way possible we should be moving to make ourselves less reliant on the US.

Again, our governments have nowhere near the urgency on this that they need. Stop thinking things will 'return to normal' after Trump - he is dismantling that country, and it will take a generational rebuild.

Wolter's Adult Consent Only Island has a nice ring to it. Now if we could just boil it down to an acronym... oh no.

Of course, but the causation isn't "voters don't care so politicians deprioritize climate", it's "politicians work very hard to convince people that the economy (read: shareholder profits) must be the only urgent focus".

There's just no evidence that anything Calandra is proposing will help. His language is empty.

My daughter's school is up 30+ students but down thousands of dollars in funding, mostly affecting class and department budgets.

My trustee got a vote to force smaller class sizes. He now can't work.

CBC Radio just had on a professor who stated the Ontario Government is using EQAO (a flawed measure to begin with) to justify their current political end of eliminating or limiting school boards. Nova Scotia used a similar one to remove their's but in years since hasn't seen vast improvements.

Mike Schreiner always has the best political lines and he is wasted on a fringe party.

Also, Doug Ford is killing public education. Pass it on.

Avs: I have to go now. My home planet needs me.
