Potentially interesting result, but the sample size is probably … what … 100 respondents?

This is a really good article. And I know one of the principals quite well and would love to comment more but there is still arbitration and litigation going on.

A side of me wants to see this go to overtime

& an extra end in curling today, beside that OT hockey final

Silver is my 2nd favourite colour

goddammit

A reminder that momentum is quite possibly is the worst concept

Overtime hockey are the best hockey

I've been affecting the outcomes of significant sports games since like last century, so don't even

Oh, we might get it ........

A side of me wants to see this go to overtime

While I agree that “momentum” could be important, I think being ahead by a goal is actually more important

here you go

Well that is some nail-biting Canadian Olympic action today.

Twas over 10m when I viewed it this morning

Matt Jeneroux brings Liberals within reach of majority with 3 by-elections coming

“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus … Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

I always said if I were a swimmer I would simply not come up for air

OK, but who are the dudes curling in their pyjama pants on the neighbouring rink?

Well this is just boring now

Canada beat Switzerland by 4 who beat France by 4 Canada beat Czechia by 5 who beat France by 3 Either way expect Canada to beat France by 8 Slovakia beat Finland by 3 who beat Sweden by 3 who beat Italy by 3 Slovakia should beat Italy by 9 Slovakia beat Italy by 1

i think i follow a lot of news outlets and then i find out from my coworkers this kidnapping thing is going on and i realize i've maybe unintentionally weeded out every source with steady Crime Reporting from my rss feeds and social media networks

Counterpoint: curling is played in “teams” only because playing it individually would require being in good shape.

American Exceptionalism

Me, watching short track speed-skating: “No, no, no! You can’t ZIG, you need to ZAG!!”

Might as well re-post this alongside the piece I just re-posted.

This is superb. Wayne Horton may have invented a new genre of journalism. This is a deeply informed, wonderfully enlightening essay on how to behave in bad faith negotiations, as well as a perfect reading of Carney's manner and thinking, and it's satire. It is explanatory parody. And it's right.

Bravo. They made him look slightly comfortable

Ouch

In the 1990s, we saw PMs engage in both "carrot" & "stick" approaches to Canadian federalism. It would be something to see Carney pass a "residents of provinces that leave the federation are no longer extended Canadian citizenship" bill. There would of course be a grandfathering period.

I've always had a soft spot for Stephen Harper, & I think this moment sums up partly why:

I don't recall simulating this scenario at Model-UN

Calvin’s got better things to do this weekend🤣. What are your weekend plans? #CalvinandHobbes

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

When we should be announcing the firing of a DoJ that has utterly failed to produce the juiciest of “Epstein Files”

The coolest Congresswoman there’s ever been.

Mind-blowing shit, i know

An important read by colleague @angelavcarter.bsky.social et al:

Breaking News: Spain issued a decree allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants to apply for legal residency. The measure is bucking a trend, as many Western governments have cracked down on illegal immigration.

"That's crazy. We're not a threat," said US ambassador Hoekstra. That’s precisely what someone who was a threat would say. NORAD would be ‘altered’ if Canada doesn’t buy F-35 jets, warns Trump envoy - CBC

I would also - as sort of a politics 101 - ask who is acting & who is reacting

I think at this point folks should judge the result of negotiations & the relative positions of the two countries economically & in the world. I think it's weird to call the PM out daily on a process that clearly wasn't going to happen fast/well, & is with an entirely untrustworthy trade partner.

Headlines from every single time NATO invoked Article 5

On the off chance there are university students or prospective university students on this app, may I highly recommend wandering into your student newspaper's office?

Crap. That’s the same time as the StatsCan presentation. How could the PM do this?!

Do it for democracy …
