I would love to see CBC and BBC work together to open an American network. They already have staff there, just buy a zombie channel like Al Jazeera did

History rhymes:
β€œHe feared that, when the Romans no longer had an enemy to restrain them, they would become insolent, reckless, careless, and quarrelsome, corrupted by prosperity and falling into moral decay.”
β€” Appian, Roman History, Punic Wars 69*, reporting the argument of Scipio Nasica Corculum.

If there is one thing that has been consistently called in the modern era, it is hits to the head of the QB.

Sigh, @teamgushue.bsky.social , it’s okay. We probably can’t afford another highway right now anyway.

You’ll always be our champs forever.

Or, at least, in important tournaments/bonspeils, in extra ends you should have to win by two.

2/2
This idea would be more exciting and would encourage more daring play in late ends, as they wouldn’t know who would have shot rock beforehand.

#Curling idea:

Shot rock in extra ends should be determined by draw-to-the-button at the start of the 11th.

Having the hammer by rule and only needing to score 1 is too big an advantage and leads to teams playing for a tie - i.e. taking safe shots, content to play extra ends with the hammer.1/

Did you fact check that β€œaffordability” was a new term nobody ever heard before?

Add 4 from DC and Puerto Rico. Open to other suggestions.

but it will definitely not help the national mood or faith in our institutions. If you can’t vote this one, just hold your nose and abstain. Literally use the argument that your constituents have said that they don’t want an election now. That’s it. Don’t overthink it.οΏΌ

In all seriousness, nobody knows how an unnecessary election right now would play out, but it will definitely not help the national mood or faith in our institutions.

A look back at PM #Carney before he got into the race. This is why I and many other Canadians voted for him. This is the man for the moment, for #Canada. Also, he totally nails #poilievre and the empty slogan #CPC. #cdnpoli

Crazy to think about the impact of just 4 moose. Maybe we have to reintroduce the Newfoundland wolf (last seen in 1911). 2/2
