French goalie Julian Junca asked for Crosby’s stick in the handshake line following Sunday’s blowout, and he obliged because he’s Sidney freaking Crosby: “That’s part of hockey. You do that over the years, trade sticks and things, and it’s part of the experience.”

Ben Smith: I don’t know if Stephen Miller resigns before the midterms, resigns after the midterms, or sticks around. But this feels like that moment when a president puts a lot of confidence in one adviser to steer national policy in a direction that turns out to be politically disastrous.

"We inherited a situation where our budget is over reliant on resource revenues."

The UCP has been in power since 2019. At some point you're going to have to take responsibility for the decisions your party has made.
When asked about the budget today...

Smith was pretty direct.

"We're wanting people to brace themselves"

It's hard to believe that you could be the trade representative for a major power and not know that tariffs are regressive.

My econ 101 students know what the word regressive means, and that tariffs are regressive. Many could even cite studies on the subject.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on tariffs: "It's not regressive. Most consumption in America is done by the wealthiest people. So the idea it's somehow regressive is just wrong."

It's the mainstream media's faut!
They wanted trump in office partly on behalf of their owners and partly so they had a daily disaster to report on.
Now their job is simply to repeat everything he says like a gossip spreading rumours.

Randy Fine’s comment is blatantly racist, dehumanizing, and dangerous. Speaker Johnson must condemn this bigotry immediately. We will not normalize Islamophobia in Congress.

Most of the players on US teams are Canadians, most of the coaches are Canadian. Most team Captains are Canadian.

Most of the Gold medal Olympic Men’s Hockey wins are Team Canada.
