If you didn’t already dislike the Buffalo Sabres, here is another reason to start doing so. This is Tage Thompson, their best forward and alternate captain.

Everything about “Alberta separatism” is an artificial sham. Which doesn’t make it not dangerous.

Just reading a vivid description in an exam about the Algerian FLN’s attacks targeting the Pinot Noir. My favourite. How dare they???

Regarding all the noise around Kirby Dach: if Hughes and Gorton have been assessing who will be part of this team entering its championship window I have to think that by now they have concluded Dach isn’t going to be part of a championship team. I do not expect him to be back next year. #GoHabsGo

Making concessions just encourages more extortion and bullying. Stop it.

Don’t let anyone tell you that ordinary people can’t make a difference - we absolutely can especially when we act collectively.

Neo-Fascist Viktor Orban is out as PM of Hungary. 🎉 My fondest hope is that surveys show the Trump administration’s interventions/interference in the election on Orban’s behalf hurt his results. 🤞

This is where we are now: casually threatening genocide on social media.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Pam Bondi was one of the worst attorney generals in American History. But given Trump reportedly canned her for not prosecuting his enemies to his satisfaction, we can expect whatever sycophant is up next to be even worse.

Watching Donald Trump use his schoolyard bully tactics to try to force his allies to clean up his mess in the Persian Gulf would have been funny if it wasn’t so catastrophic. What clowns he & his menagerie are. The definition of unserious people. Yet their actions have deadly serious consequences.

Et tu, Anne? 😂 What’s that saying about about rats and a ship again?

Senseless wars, cover ups for child sex trafficking, threatening friends and allies, tearing up the constitution, disrespecting the dead, and on and on it goes. Great job Republican voters. From the world to you: we will remember who did this to us. You will never be trusted again.

The Globe has a paywall, but this piece is too good not to share. The incompetent boobs in the US administration have wrought disaster and have no clue what they’ve done let alone how to undo it. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Just when you think it’s all falling apart and that the world no longer makes any sense, a story comes along to be a beacon of light in the darkness. www.cnn.com/2026/03/19/e...

Attacks on North American Jews are antisemitic acts committed by those who can’t distinguish between the actions of a foreign government and Jewish Canadians or Americans. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

2-4 ordinary weeks or Kirby Dach weeks? Because 2-4 Dach weeks is like at least 6 months.

Sportsnet has updated their app. As a SportsnetNow subscriber, it’s awful. The app glitches constantly and freezes. The usual fixes (restarting the TV, clearing the data etc.) don’t work. I can’t believe I pay for this. Rogers brought in $21.7 billion in revenue last year & they can’t fix this?

Trying to find a hockey goalie to spare in a pick up game is one of life’s most thankless tasks.

Gas was 157.9 per litre this morning. And it’s going to keep going up. That makes ordinary folks poorer; will drive up the cost of literally everything; enriches Putin and helps him wage war in Ukraine; and enriches oil companies including those plundering Venezuela. #ThanksDonald

I’m glad Kristi Noem got fired but the triumphalism I am seeing from a lot of people is badly misplaced. This is a virtually meaningless shuffling of the deck chairs, nothing more. It will not actually deliver change or any kind.

Killing little girls is one way to distract people from the Epstein Files, I guess.

For the last entry in the series I though I would roll with my favourite song, which I probably listen to at least weekly some 35+ years after I first heard it. Still powerful. The riff. The musicianship. Merry Clayton’s vocal. Incredible. Number 1000c of #1000Songs youtube.com/watch?v=COqF...

The worst villain in the US men’s team story is Bill Guerin. He’s GM of the Minnesota Wild for crying out loud but there he is acting as a stooge for the man who has laid siege to the city in which his team plays. He’s a full on collabo.

About the best thing you can say is that the US Olympic Men’s Hockey Team are a bunch of brainless privileged white idiots who’ve been duped into being used as political props. The alternative, that they are enthusiastic supporters of fascism, is much worse. Likely it’s some combination of the two.

Katrine Sansregret (interesting name) burst on to the scene last year in Star Académie. She hails from St Hubert Quebec on the south shore and the honesty and raw emotion of her songs is compelling for listeners. Number 1000b of #1000Songs youtube.com/watch?v=3Yjk...

This is an interesting mash up. The video seems to be just about entirely AI generated. This should conclude the series but i have to do two more because I accidentally doubled up on two songs along the way. 🤷‍♂️ Number 1000a of #1000Songs youtube.com/watch?v=_c_V...

So my takeaway from the disclosures so far from the Epstein files is that there is a cabal of ultra wealthy perverts and pedophiles who are above the law and act with impunity, and that the Venn diagram of these people and people bribing Donald Trump is nearly a perfect circle.

The crybaby in chief is ranting about Canada again. Maybe he’s noticed that we all hate him with the burning heat of 1000 suns.

I don’t know this band but I would guess they’re Canadian and from Montreal from a reply I got from their BlueSky account yesterday. They appear to be a trio and their Facebook page describes them as an “over the top party prog rock band.” Number 984 of #1000Songs youtube.com/watch?v=mrBf...
