One team wanted to win it in the alley; the other wanted to win it on the ice. And without a good goalie early, braun may have won it.

Also, what each player, the coach, the GM wants for Christmas as I have a bit of fun in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal.

TODAY, Court of King’s Bench, after hearing submissions from First Nations, ruled that the separatists’ (Alberta Prosperity Project) proposed referendum question is unconstitutional. It violates all Albertans Charter and First Nations’ treaty rights.

Premier, what now?

BREAKING!!!

The day after the UCP attempted to stop the courts from issuing a ruling...

The courts have ruled.

And they not only rule the question is unconstitutional, but that separation requires the consent of First Nations period!

Two losses. That's the point at which an NHL team must recover to stop the bleeding. Teams with a lot of three-game losing skids often don't make the playoffs.

UCP convention-goers voted to ban permanent residents and other non-citizens from being party members or voting to nominate candidates.
Saskatchewan Party grassroots did something similar; it could have a large effect on party base makeup in some ridings.

So Dani’s right hand man just publicly admitted that he doesn’t actually know how puberty blockers work.

But with his full chest he’s braying as if he does.

This is the perfect encapsulation of the problem.

European media closely follow Alberta’s separatist chatter. This has negative impact on investment confidence and it compromises Canada’s geopolitical standing.

Separatism only serves foreign interests.

Let’s this sink in. Bill 2 overrides:

• The Labour Relations Code;
• The Public Education Collective Bargaining Act;
• The Alberta Bill of Rights;
• The Alberta Human Rights Act;
• The Education Act.

All without vigorous debate or consultation with Albertans.
