Anyhow, donate to the Bumrun, in support of colorectal cancer if you're able.

It's an awful disease that claimed my mother four years ago. But the good news is the success rates are strong if caught early. Educate yourself and possibly save a life.

I am "today I sprinted for maybe 100m at a charity run and somehow tweaked my back" years old",and this makes me uncomfortable with reality.

Very interesting!

Great story from Jason Proctor.

FOI documents reveal BC’s former energy minister was told last September that at least 7 large-scale hydrogen projects were being cancelled or paused because of issues including electricity supply, high cost and transportation. #bcpoli

J.J. McCullough: Let’s not complicate things—whoever wins the most seats in the next election should win power in Ottawa Anything else sets a dangerous anti-democratic precedent

What we are currently seeing in Canadian political polling is exactly why every high school baseball coach in history has told their pitchers that they need to have more than a fastball if they want to be successful.

I understand there's a lot of tomfoolery in how voters determine the Hart winner, but there is nobody more valuable to their team this season than Quinn Hughes to the #Canucks

What Mancini has shown so far on new-look Vancouver Canucks defence | Sports The Vancouver Canucks seem to have found a gem in Victor Mancini who has been great thus far with his new team.

I'm in on Mancini as a potential quality #4-5 type dman in the future.

The value of the Kupp deal for the #Seahawks will depend entirely on the guarantees, particularly if the 3rd year is real or just agent nonsense.

There's a gap either way, but it's also worth noting they did not need to extend him (yes, I know cap hit gymnastics, but still). Geno was under contract for 2025. The lowball option was to play the year and evaluate the market after his age 34 season.

I can't help but feel like it's suboptimal that the President appears to be taking strategic direction from 1990s pro wrestling storylines.

Craft distilleries say steep markups are keeping their products off B.C. Liquor Store shelves | CBC News B.C. craft liquor manufacturers say that the province should remove barriers to their products being sold in provincial liquor stores, as interest grows in homegrown alcohol due to U.S. tariffs.

We should not ignore threats to our freedom and sovereignty.

And also, you can't help but wonder how much of all this is akin to a toddler throwing their spaghetti against a wall, and then continuing to do it because it's getting them attention.

You keep this up and a Canadian passport is just going to show up in the mail one day

Newspapers used to be so important they made buildings like this (Chicago Tribune). Today the NYT is apparently running a story without fact checking who has a majority in Parliament, and a large portion of media is random people awkwardly holding a little mic for a webcam. Not ideal for news.

The Seahawks getting rid of Geno Smith so they can bring in Sam Darnold

Difficult to see how committing to at least two years of Sam Darnold at market price is an improvement or step in the right direction for the #Seahawks.

Knockoff version of the Canucks' Elias Pettersson duo.

Congrats, Tyler. Good news to see BIV growing.

Good news for Seaspan and the many BC workers who will build this project (including IBEW members).
The groundwork for NSS work was laid during the early 2010s federal procurement, and solid work of the provincial government of the day to support Seaspan.

It feels like a multi-year market rate contract for a Sam Darnold type is the worst long-term outcome for the #Seahawks. Locking yourself back onto a low ceiling treadmill is the opposite of change.

Canucks: Our fans are pretty choked at our management decisions this week.

Seahawks: Hold my beer

The #Seahawks are certainly doing something. But it certainly doesn't seem like a good something.
