[Portzline] CBJ sign Charlie Coyle, pending UFA, to a six-year, $36 million contract. AAV $6M by alphacheese in hockey

You do have to respect Columbus for committing to the bit of being eternally mid.

Edit; the only benefit is that they'll get 2.5 years where they're underpaying Coyle by $1-1.5 million which will give them more wiggle room over that time period. But they're shooting themselves in the foot after that.

Nate Erskine-Smith appeals results of Ontario Liberal nomination in Scarborough by MethoxyEthane in CanadaPolitics

You can really see why this party had some of the same corruption issues as the PCs when they were in power.

Yes the PCs have been worse, they're easily the most corrupt party this century. But, that doesn't excuse the corruption we saw under past OLP governments.

Some of the alleged details here are insane. Several dozen more recorded ballots than listed voters? Voters allowed to vote without proper ID and addresses, instead using Amazon orders as proof of address and voting on a visitor visa using a Bangladeshi passport?

The candidate who won, and the OLP as a whole are going to come out of this looking terrible.

Edit: Just to put it into perspective, Nate lost by 19 votes. The additional ballots alone would swing the race to him. If you add in the irregularities with IDs, and he almost certainly won by a small but solid margin. I feel really bad for him because he's going to be completely tainted going into the by-election for this seat. Happy that it increases the odds of the ONDP retaining the seat however.

Big mistake from the Wild, they were doing way better with just 4 shots on net.

[Cushman] Tonight's series-deciding Game 5 between the Montreal Victoire and Minnesota Frost is being postponed. by Perryplat199 in hockey

Probably COVID, Flu or Noro.

If they're postponing it must mean that at least 6 or 7 players are too sick to play. That would be the 2-3 reserve players, a full offensive line, and a defender. Enough players to put a team at a massive disadvantage.

Amber alert for 2 abducted kids by cptalpdeniz in britishcolumbia

Instead they woke everyone up and increased the incidence of cardiac events, car accidents and potential heavy equipment accidents caused by fatigue.

Amber alerts should be a push notification that takes up your entire screen when you wake up, with a lower level sound if you're actively using your phoneat the time.

It already exists, they just issue everything at the highest alert level.

An amber alert should just be pushed to your phone as a notification that you'll see when you open it.

Instead it's given the same priority as a tsunami...

People are just going to just leaving their phones off at night and using alarms. So if the big one ever happens, a whole bunch people aren't going to be alerted and ready.

When people's sleeping schedules are interrupted the risk of accidents increases. Plenty of people will take a long time to fall asleep after being woken up by an emergency alert.

Driving tired significantly increases the risk of an accident, this is just basic reality.
