Still a step up from the one his idiot son put together: Not a huge step, though. Must be all the powdered sugar in Jr's diet.

I'm not a Kinew fan by any stretch of the imagination; in fact, I can't stand him. However, it's good to see him call out Friesen for the donkey that he is.

Declares victory prematurely and then cries like a child when counting votes starts to go against him. He epitomizes all that is wrong with Murica. What a loathsome, self-interested, ignorant, delusional, vile human being. If this election has taught us anything, it's this: the term "United States of America" is a ******* misnomer and a half.

I wanted to go with Ramsay's "you ******* donkey" .gif instead but I didn't want it removed.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/10/29/election-violence-in-the-united-states-is-a-clear-and-present-danger/ Crazy to think under this wannabe tinpot dictator Murica turned into what he used to criticize: shithole countries.

This reply, though: **chef's kiss**

Can this bozo even cast a ballot in Murica? What a ******* donkey.

This sort of exemption may be low risk but the optics are extremely ugly, especially when a gov't agency chooses to hide behind the Privacy Act.

And then there's this incorrigible idiot: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/lynn-beyak-donated-to-trump-republican-national-committee-1.5778988

As a permanent fixture, I agree. I think there's enough talent and versatility in that top 6 to move 29 up or 26 down depending on usage, though. 81 - 55 - 26 (29) 27 - 25 - 29 (26) That's a very strong top 6 no matter how you deploy the lines. Stastny splitting two speed demons like Ehlers and Wheeler could drive opponents mad, IMO.

Compare them both at 22? Why? What does such a comparison accomplish now? Here's my take: Blake Wheeler is on, if not close to, the back 9 of his career. He's still a top line winger, though. Laine needs to play top minutes against the league's best in order to continue his development into a superstar. The ceiling for him is extremely high. Keeping 55 and 26 together as some hard-set rule makes no sense in regard to either of those aspects, but it isn't a hard-set rule by the head coach (despite what some have claimed). Wheeler is still the more well-rounded winger, he's stronger defensively, he's more responsible with the puck, and he's often more physical. If anything, I'd rotate 26 and 29 at 1RW and 2RW based on situation. Laine playing with Stastny will be nice to see again but he also needs to work on his chemistry with Scheifele. Wheeler should be able to plug in on Stastny's right wing pretty easily, lessening his workload as he continues to age. If this type of flexibility can't be established on the top 6, I can't see Laine's progression happening as optimally as it should on this team. I firmly believe a top line of Connor (LW), Scheifele (C), and Laine (RW) is the future of this team. But when that comes to fruition remains to be seen. Frankly, I'm still surprised Laine getting more top line minutes remains a point of contention for his camp; he played a ton last season. He's a second overall with one of the best shots in hockey and has set some pretty incredible records for someone his age. It only stands to reason he'll end up a top 3 in the right environment but there needs to be a balanced approach. At 34, the captain may benefit from a slightly reduced workload, especially over time. Wheeler getting bumped down to the second line isn't some insult to him or his play; he remains a phenomenal winger and is often the straw that stirs the drink of this team's speed and intensity. And he can still do just that on the second line. It's difficult to compare Laine to Wheeler, as their styles differ noticeably. However, both are highly effective in their own special ways but I think it goes without saying 81-55-29 is the top line of the future. And the potential of such a line has me salivating at the possibilities. IMO, it's a touch and go situation that'll have to be dynamic. Having Stastny back on this roster is a major benefit in this regard.

Hilariously pitiful. Nearly four years later and HRC is still taking up space rent-free in the collective GOP's head. Not that there is much else taking up space up there, though.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/us-supreme-court-barrett-senate-confirmation-1.5776696 This is gross.

https://readpassage.com/media-attacked-the-wetsuweten-but-ignore-white-fisher-violence/ Interesting - and sickening - double standard. Not surprising, however, considering Postmedia owns 3/4 of those "newspapers" listed in the article.

You voted for Kenney and his party. You actually directly supported the UCP and its leader and their dogshit policies. You are the last person who should be throwing stones here, much less calling anyone else an idiot.

Biden has his shortcomings and is flawed like any other political figure. He's made his mistakes and I'm sure he'd be the first to admit where he's faltered in his career. But one thing is certain: he's not a self-interested, duplicitous, narcissistic, dishonest, bigoted, hateful turd like Trump is. Not even close.

Good. This country doesn't need another goddamned election.

And the dogshit antics in Alberta continue: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/education-experts-slam-leaked-alberta-curriculum-proposals-1.5766570 The parts about bible verses and creationism are utterly embarrassing. How shameful for anyone who voted in the MAGAt wannabe UCP.
