Carter Hart, from the Las Vegas Golden Knights, was one of five charged with sexual assault in the Hockey Canada trial. Last year at this time he was testifying in an Ontario courtroom. This year, he's playing for the Stanley Cup. Are we going to talk about this?

Infuriating for them to talk about "crossing mid-block" when there are literally no crossings and this is the road. Damn it, get out of the cruiser and go see what the actual problem is, then push the city to put some pedestrian signals, or _something_. This is a deadly road and you're not helping.

It's a strange world when the Premier of the Province thinks that it's more important to give voice to maybe 20% of voters rather than the 80% who are satisfied with the status quo. The Premier may or may not be a separatist but she is certainly a deliberate enabler of separatism.

Doug Ford mocked a judge for protecting the Charter rights of unhoused people, even joking about sending “15 encampments” to the judge’s backyard. So here’s the real question: Why are courts being forced to defend basic human rights in the middle of a housing crisis? This is why CBC matters.

I didn’t support Canadian cities bidding on the FIFA World Cup because costs greatly exceed local benefits. But after getting some games, our cities SHOULD try to benefit as much as we can. But with FIFA’s corruption & Trump collaboration, I recommend not giving a dime more to FIFA than we have to.
