I’m someone whose personal political views made me largely happy last night.
I think Carney is great. I think Petite Pierre is a doofus.
Those of us who agree with me need to realize it’s only getting worse, though. Bluesky posts ain’t it. We need another path.
Our message will be lost.

I Facetimed my four-year-old niece today while she was eating lunch and was trying to tell her how nice it was in Calgary and she stopped me and said “Uncle Danny, your POV right now is just somebody eating a sandwich.”
She definitely doesn’t know what POV means, but amazing stuff from her

I started running like a month and a half ago and it’s the biggest bullshit.
There’s nothing linear about it. Some days it’s amazing. Some days it’s completely terrible.
No way of predicting when or why you’ll feel either way. Just hope for the best.
As I said, biggest bullshit.

An all-time answer from Blake Coleman when asked by @dannyaustin.bsky.social about Adam Klapka's dangles. #Flames
"It's pretty obvious when he's dancing. The boys get excited when he starts doing backhand toeys."

That, my friends, is about as tough a loss as it gets for the Flames.

Wrote yesterday about how the Flames are going to need Yegor Sharangovich to step up in Zary’s absence if they’ve got any shot at a playoff invite.
Good to see him get started with a goal

There still seem to be people intent on downplaying his contributions, but he just does things nobody else on this team can do and he does them consistently.

Aw man, that’s too sad. Few guys in history as brilliant in the ring. Spent hundreds of hours watching his fights growing up.
A lot more to his life than that, obviously, but what a joy to have the privilege to watch him box.

Mikael Backlund won't return to this game because of an upper-body injury.
That's not a guy they can afford to lose for long.

I really wish these American ghouls would just get it over with and say they want our natural resources.

Kevin Hassett suggests Canadian authorities are covering up major fentanyl operations: "I can tell you that in the situation room I've seen photographs of fentanyl labs in Canada that the law enforcement folks were leaving alone. Canada's got a big drug problem."
