  1. Based on his actions to date, seems to be the wrong guy for the job.
  2. And the US Legal system response? It's just entertainment not to believed.
  3. The proven cost effective approach, seeding doubt with lies, half truths, information with no context with little to no consequences other than blue checker twitter shame and call out.
  4. Fantastic question that is always interesting to discuss. For me the most appropriate answer and following thru on it takes consistent discipline to help enact the primary goal, which is usually is keep it civil, keep it relevant, keep it interesting and meaningful for all. Because if you do react with some heat (humor, sarcasm, anger etc that I've been guilty of using on many occasions over the years since 2013) to people who confess that they get a charge out of riling others up in not a fun or beneficial way than you than run a high risk of being assessed with the same label as them. When to be tolerant, when to ignore and when not to be tolerant and something needs to be said and how does that fit into civil discourse, crucial conversations etc will conjure up many differing and varying perspectives. And this is just my perspective.
  5. Certain well known gaslighters come in hot spewing absurdness, people react accordingly, gaslighter predictably says echo chamber just helping out can’t we all be civil, enter Rich. Rinse, repeat.
  6. Self identified Gaslighter who spews absurdness to get a charge out of people says what? Whatever floats your boat.
  7. Ask our local devils advocate poster, he'll let you know it's actually not so deranged because all politicians are equally bad, he'll insinuate you are only offering a one sided thought but take what he says with a grain of salt ending with a lol.
  8. But Biden! F Trudeau! Pseudo Criminals! Oh I'm just playing Devils advocate cuz you all just talk in your echo chambers of pretty one-sided thoughts. Take all of this with a grain of salt. lol. I'm clever.
  9. From the Edmonton Sun, letter to the Editor: 'I think it is time for Edmonton voters to correct their voting choices. For years Edmonton was the ONLY place in the province where you could vote communist. Now we have many Edmonton voters who choose to vote socialist. There is only one taxpayer. Voting for the NDP will only bankrupt Alberta. The time has come to retire Notley and her destructive NDP spenders. I believe the UCP under Smith will do great things for Edmonton and all Albertans. Next on the agenda for Edmonton voters will be to get rid of the Liberal Sohi and his bike riding council. Oh and by the way, once Ontario and Toronto voters quit voting Liberal, Albertans will remove the curse put on the Toronto Maple Leafs'. Ken Iskiw A great example of critical thinking, healthy skepticism and just another view point to add to the discussion on who will provide a sound mandate to help all Albertans. C'mon bro.
  10. Q: Okay, now what? A: Nothing. Follow-up by SCOTUS: How dare anyone question our integrity. We are going down a very dangerous path when questioning this body.
  11. Nope disagree. I've come around on this one. In some cases even when a player has his head up (hockey, football as examples), it still puts him in a vulnerable position with limited ability to avoid being blown up and risking serious head (and other) injury. In football, rules changed as my boy played to now penalizing predatory hits even if they were technically legal before. e.g., A few years back my boy was flagged on a play for blowing up a defender that was locked on the player with the ball. The players head was up but didn't matter he was lasered focused on the player he was going to tackle and was in a complete vulnerable position that my boy chose to blow him up. Penalty warranted. I'm sure someone a lot smarter than me could cite a comparable hockey example. This predatory rule has not translated into the pro leagues yet as far as I know. This is the primary reason my boy chose to hang up his cleats at the end of this past season. He told me he was tired of being sore after every practice and more importantly he doesn't want to be dealing with CTE as he ages into adulthood. Pretty good reason we need things in place like this predatory rule for minimizing longer term effects and to help recruit and keep athletes playing.
  12. His last paragraph is the best: 'It is possible, of course, to make a play on the puck or the player, especially one who doesn’t see you coming, without blowing them up. Wherever the league ultimately wants to draw the line on such hits, it ought to be on the side of not allowing someone to completely wipe out an unsuspecting opponent. To do otherwise is to endorse brain injuries'.
  13. “My main goal is to win a Stanley Cup,” Hellebuyck said. “I’m starting to run out of time.” Taken from the Hockey News A story by Nick Horwat Not knowing my place, not being appreciative enough of having a NHL team, being way too negative and not understanding it's not realistic to expect a championship for this team at some point, sure wish this quote came from Chevy not Helle.
  14. God's law has been compromised. Superior Authority that permitted this photo to be shown must be challenged with all our might. But seriously we joke because it's a coping mechanism but all you knuckle draggers out there that hide behind religion to spew and act on your drivel make it bad for good people of faith and/or religion. I'm tired of hearing your absurdness and the danger your causing to the sane collective society of humans who just want to co-exist and at times thrive with one another. In this specific instance whether you know it or not or accept it, this is not a discussion with multiple varying different perspectives that add value. It's sane versus insane. You've chosen your side. Insane absurd dangerous drivel is not 'just another perspective'. ffs
  15. Too bad he's associated with the stink of Florida and what it represents on humanity and how it's being 'led'. Right, this is sports not politics. Sorry wrong thread. Go Leafs? No, even this isn't enough. 🙂
  16. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/russia-accuses-ukraine-of-attempted-drone-attack-on-putin/ar-AA1aGcLl?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=0c88bd0253504aac8251c6954a5ac3d7&ei=23 What am I missing here? Person leading said country responsible for waging war and destruction on my country then said country is upset at us retaliating against this person who attacked us?
  17. Exhibit A your Honour: From the Canadian Press: Smith has stated it's not OK for politicians and accused persons to discuss active criminal cases, but says her call to Pawlowski was OK because as a politician it's her role to interact and hear from constituents and didn't realize the January call would be about his criminal case and that she thought she would be talking politics with him in his then-role as the head of the fringe Independence Party on Alberta. Angry supporters of Pawlowski attempted to prevent media from talking to the pastor when he was leaving the court on Tuesday, telling reporters to "prepare to meet thy God" and that they would be judged.
  18. I don't know if in this particular instance that's what's the case here. Knuckle dragging men and women aren't going to change their minds if NDP propped up a white male. Sane undecided voters and sane 'I don't like to vote' need to show up to the polls. This is a full scale emergency, this is not a test. There is no room for voter apathy. We will do everything in our power to help you get out and vote. If I was Notley I would be saying this out loud to that specific group.
  19. Saw him up close as my son's first year with U of A was last year as well played with him his first year of high school football. Great guy, great teammate, humble.
  20. Yea exactly, where do knuckle draggers think this money is coming from? They better do some digging and jump on the internet, ie Rebel ‘news’.
  21. Taken from a story by Jim Parsons NHL Talk quoting Jonathan Huberdeau: He noted, “You’re supposed to put your players in a position to succeed and I think this season he didn’t do that.” He later added: “They gave me a big contract… Gave (Nazem) Kadri one too, but I was disappointed that I wasn’t put in situations where I could have as much success as possible.” These comments tend to agree with reviews of Sutter’s work that he gave priority to grinders and third-line players when he should have been focused on the skill sets of his most offensively dynamic stars. He continued: “It really didn’t click between me and Darryl last year. There were a lot of factors. There was a big difference in points between my last two years. And the style of play he wanted to play, it didn’t fit my style of game… Having a new coach is going to help my game and my confidence, too.” Fair enough though throwing the coach under the bus can be just as bad as the reverse happening, no? Depends I guess on the specific situation in this messy world of Sport. On the one hand, JH is confident in his abilities and wants to be on the ice more in crucial situations when it mattered the most that's what he's paid for and how he contributes. The stats show his icetime and situations changed from his time with the Panthers to his first year with the Flames. On the other hand, this is a team game and they need to buy into the coach's system and play accordingly both mentally and physically (DS has won two cups) because that's what the Coaching team believes will get them to success with the existing talent they have. So to break this down it will be interesting to hear what comes out of JH's mouth at the end of the 2023/2024 season if the new coach gives everything JH wants, i.e., icetime and crucial situations barring injury or any other unforeseen circumstance and: He succeeds individually and the Flames succeed (Sort of I told you so situation) He falters but the Flames succeed (Hmmmm interesting) He falters and the Flames falter (Scooby Doo Ruh Roh)
  22. But apparently to people who hide who they really are and use social media to their advantage to mock and patronize by liberally using CAPS anyone who dismisses these four categories as simplistic drivel by yelling that you idiots aren't appreciating the 'fact' that everyone is bad, these are just other 'viewpoints' so stop being divisive living in your echo chambers of fellow libtards. Critical thinkers from all walks of lives and political/social ideologies that are life long learners who believe in individual freedoms and rights meshed with civic responsibilities are now considered libtards, radical thought police WOKE lefties ruining all that was 'good'. This is where we currently are.
  23. DS campaigning on huge tax cuts, F Trudeau and I don’t take follow-up questions. Okay what services and jobs will be cut as a result?
  24. There are so many good faith people from all walks of lives and religions I so admire up close and from afar but not so much admiration for others who use religion and faith to spew nonsense and hide behind to do their bad deeds. I remember passing this church and seeing this on their billboard: 'When in doubt choose faith over understanding'. I think some misuse/misinterpret this mindset in certain scenarios and on certain issues.
  25. Shocking emoticon. Let’s not go to far.
