https://youtu.be/UxJvrD80nJ4Hello out there, we're on the air, it's 'Hockey Night' tonight.
Tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice
The goalie jumps, and the players bump, and the fans all go insane
Someone roars, "Bobby Scores!", at the good ol' hockey jame
OH! The ol' hockey game is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name is the good ol' hockey game
Justin Trudeau, the man you know, he's PM of this state
Some love him and some hate him but you know his hair is great
His hands are full with lots of bull from some guy right down south
And when he speaks a ton of "uh"s are issued from his mouth
Now Andrew Scheer has come up here to lead the CPC
Say what you will, for good or ill, at least they're not PP
He likes to talk, but can he walk? That remains to be seen
We'll all find out and scream and shout in ol' twenty-nineteen
And Jagmeet Singh is here to bring the Dippers to the show
He doesn't pose for hockey but he'll sometimes stand in snow
Although he's an Ontarian, he's come to Burnaby
To bring the heat and win a seat for the good ol' NDP
Our friend Liz May's still here today, her party's at just one
But you can't say the Greens don't know some good ways to have fun
She went to jail, but still she failed to stop the pipeline, see,
And now trade war is raging 'tween Alberta and BC
And I could talk about the Bloc or Maxime Bernier
But Tom's already spinnin' in his stompin' grave today
So let's all talk 'bout politics, try not to pass the blame
Just think of Question Period like the good ol' hockey game
OOOOOOH The ol' hockey game is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name is the good ol' hockey game

Is it just me, or has the CBC decided to directly speak to my fears about climate change and war on a weekly basis? I liked them better when they were talking 24/7 about weed legalization.
Well played.

Well, we got lucky -- Saturday night was clouded over, and Friday had a little bit of cloud at sunset:
but cleared up very nicely later on:
And the rest of Yellowknife was also awesome -- we walked around Frame Lake, and yeah, it was definitely snowy:
We saw road signs:
and the museum, which is about exactly the right size, and the Legislature, which is pretty awesome and now I know more about how politics in the NWT works than I did before (it actually sounds like a better system than a lot of others -- also, your mace is super great, especially now I know what Alberta's mace used to be made of ):
That's why it should really only be wielded against the undead where it has a natural +5 for being a blunt instrument.
I anticipate him, rather than trying to introduce it to the legislature, just trying to unilaterally declare it and then claiming the notwithstanding clause when the courts say he can't. But for now, good news.
Seriously, don't these feebs have anything better to do than wring their hands over someones gender identity? Aside from the fact that none of it is anyones goddamn business, it literally cannot hurt anyone. We are literally facing an existential threat when it comes to global warming, and these monsters want to debate over whether or not trans people are a thing. Tanya Granic Allen should put her head in a blender to spare the rest of us from her bullshit. The only good thing she's gone is let the rest of us know that "parental rights advocate" is code for hateful homophobe.
In good news along the same subject, it is my understanding that gender reassignment surgery will soon be available in BC. Now there is another option aside from Montreal. This makes me very happy.

Sorry for the off-topic
What did they say?
I lived in TBay for 8 years, so I'd love to compare notes.

e: Here are the descriptions for the episodes that are out:
Chapter 1: There Is A Town In North Ontario
Locals call it Murder Bay. It might be the most dangerous city for Indigenous youth in the world. But to others, it's their white nirvana. Host Ryan McMahon wants to know - not who killed all those kids, but what killed them. This is Thunder Bay.
Chapter 2: Clowns
A dark, grainy, cellphone video leads to criminal charges against the mayor, his wife, the chief of police, and a multimillionaire lawyer turned convicted sex offender, whose wife disappeared years ago.
Chapter 3 – Deathly Low Priority
Nine teenagers died. There is evidence of foul play. There are suspects. There are motives. There have even been confessions. But nobody has ever been charged. In a town with no consequences, it will happen again.
Chapter 4 – The Ruthless Game
Agnew Johnston was a lawyer who represented the state against criminals. But he was a criminal himself, paying underage girls for sex. His defence? Everybody in Thunder Bay is doing it, so why are you picking on me? The story of a case that implicated Thunder Bay's elite.
I tried searching but the only articles I could find about it mostly focused on telling people what services they should use instead of canada post, or are either using incredibly vague terms to deify/demonize either canada post, the government, the union, or any combination of which while all still seeming to contradict themselves.
I'll add some of my own substance to this. Two things stood out to me:
1) The comments from some locals are so matter-of-factly or just accepting of the way things are.
2) How corrupt the levers of power seem to be (ie a judge presiding over a trial where he was potentially going to be named in regards to the sex trade).
70% of Ontario did not vote for this.
Un-fucking-real.
Good job government. All these stores that are all on hold are paying rent and were awaiting approval.... Good luck with the lawsuit this will inevitably bring.
If you scroll all the way down to literally the last paragraph of said article you find this:

I feel like this part is notable as a means to further disregard anything people in that range might have to say, on the grounds of “they’re not even actual Taxpayers”.

I worked for a company like that many years ago.
I went in and purposely scheduled meetings and project reviews with as many executives and managers as I could.
Spread the love, right?

I think I have 8 paid sick days per year, which is about twice as many as I've ever used.
I'm in a union though, and work for a p understanding manager.
i have 6 year of seniority at my group
the latest DoFo change really grinds my gears

We don't really have a firm policy but after about 6-7 sick days they start docking your vacation. As long as your work get's done no one really bats an eye.
Companies and business always come out so far ahead
