This is your occasional reminder that provinces have the ability to raise their own revenues to fund the services in their fucking jurisdictions, but we have normalized letting them cry poor and blaming the federal government.

"After d'Entremont's musings over a possible defection were reported by Politico... the MP says CPC House leader Andrew Scheer and party whip Chris Warkentin 'barged' into his office, pushed open the door — almost knocking down his assistant — and yelled at him about 'how much of a snake' he was"

I tuned into this Lions-Commanders game just to get politics. So you can understand why I am so upset that these broadcasters spent the first half of the game talking football. What a joke.

On this day in 1861, the first documented game of what became Canadian football was played at the University of Toronto. It was a practice game between students and it predates the first recorded American football game by eight years.

Mario gets the blame (and he deserves it) for running Patrick Roy out of town. But he did the same with Pierre Turgeon and that was barely noticed.
Mario Tremblay was a really destructive force.

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:

First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.

Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

#FunFact: with #Habs Oliver Kapanen & Ivan Demidov reaching double-digit point totals already, the #GoHabsGo have multiple rookies with 10+ points through the team’s first 15 games of a season for first time in 40 years and only the 4th time in the modern era (since 1943-44)!

Did I mention that the Canadiens have more power plays in only two games this year.

Here's what I think is happening: The refs union doesn't like being called out, and they may just perhaps be petty about it when MSL said we look at film hope the refs do too.
