It seems like only a week ago the people who cover the Jets were scolding fans pulling for a tank.
I think the mistake was thinking it was a choice rather than destiny.

DHS will have to be disbanded as well as ICE when Democracy is restored.
Both ICE and DHS were overreactions to 9/11. Time to undo that bit of madness.

From DHS, the chief propaganda wing of the regime. "Christmas After Mass Deportation". Scene after scene of happy white people cavorting in holiday joy (with plenty of Trump mixed in). Deranged white nationalist shit.

In Quebec, there's often a lament that we don't produce hockey players like we used to. It's worse in Montreal, where we go outside the city and get clobbered systematically.
Today hockey activities at one Montreal rink are cancelled because the city can't staff it. Happy first day of winter!

Denver Debacle?
Colorado Low?
Mile High Meltdown?
Friday's #NHLJets game vs the Avalanche might have to come with a mature content rating for potential disturbing themes and imagery given the current play/trajectory of both clubs.
I'll be there to cover it.
Hide the children.

One year from now, if we’re in the leadup to a Quebec independence referendum, this news today of minimal interest outside Quebec might wind up being a consequential development in Canadian history.

Apparently Hellebuyck DOES make goals.
The Winnipeg Jets are back in the win column. A 5-1 drubbing in Nino Niederreiter's 1000th NHL game and Connor Hellebuyck's return to the lineup.
Vilardi x 2, Logan Stanley, Morgan Barron, and Alex Iafallo with the goals. Hellebuyck with 22 saves on 23 shots.
15-15-1.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.
The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.
