I think people are underselling the degree to which Canada needs to walk a finer line than Europe when it comes to commentary on US policy but, even acknowledging that, Carney's pushback is preeeeetty soft.

Kind of shocking how mediocre the Eastern Conference is this year. Worst Leafs season in a decade. Second last in the conference.... 2 points out of a playoff spot.

I've not yet reached my ultimate dad form where I get to start dressing like Peter McCallister but I'm working on it. It's a lifelong aspiration that I can and will achieve.

I don't know who invented town hall meetings at large companies but there's an argument you could make that they should be in jail.

Jarry is fine tbh. That's a reasonable bet by Edmonton, albeit kind of pricey.

Kinda surprised people are complaining about McMann getting a hearing. You actually aren't allowed to try to slap somebody in the chops with your stick, if you can believe it!

Heading to the Marlies game tonight. Haven't been paying anywhere close to my usual amount of attention to the Leafs this year. Not even sure who plays for the Marlies at this point tbh.

The great thing about having children is that you realize you have so much other stuff to occupy your time if the Leafs are poo. I'm young enough to feel confident I can wait the bums out but old enough to have other shit to do!

After seeing the impact of one meeting with Mamdani, Bernie should be booking a standing lunch with Trump every day for the next three years. The US would have universal healthcare and a $25 minimum wage within weeks.

You ever randomly think of something you could do that would be kinda funny but not funny enough to actually do and also too weird to explain why you'd even do it? Anyway, I just got the idea to go out to grab lunch and bring my wife back a filet o' fish, unprompted, having never seen her eat one.

The season gets late early and all that but I feel like people are declaring the Leafs dead a bit prematurely considering they've been down 1-2 of their top 2 goalies plus their best dman most of the year. Far from a perfect team but I imagine most teams would get scored on a lot in that scenario.
