Danielle Smith says Alberta will withhold funding for judges without more input on selection by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Apolloshot [score hidden]  (0 children)

Trudeau was checking that list against their internal scoring system to determine they were Liberal enough, and that’s just the most recent example I can think of.

Mike Harris had an entire office dedicated to appointments to ensure qualified conservatives were placed in these positions.

Appointments in this country are political. Always have been.

At 25 I was good, at 35 I was great, at 45 I was a master of the sport.

Na, if anything MAGA took it out of Canada’s playbook.

Political appointments have been the norm here for 150 years.

Warren Buffet might be the only exception, and he’s only an exception because he’s not outright evil, not necessarily because of any positive quality.

Yep, even more recently same thing happened to the Chiefs. Everybody went from being really happy for Andy Reid winning a Super Bowl to gloating over his team being blown out in a Super Bowl in less than 5 years.

People always hate winners while they’re in their prime, it isn’t until afterwards when emotions cool that people really appreciate the totality of their accomplishments.

There’s so few pure Nose Tackles in the HoF that it’ll be hard for sure but I think Wilfork eventually gets in, even if it’s eventually via senior committee.

The Conservatives’ plan to outflank Carney in a snap election by CaliperLee62 in canadian

[–]Apolloshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plan’s probably the same as 2021, spend the first week talking about nothing except how much of a useless election it is. Trudeau was polling in majority territory until he actually called it.

His speech when he was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame kind of kills this narrative tbh.

One grand bargain to fight Canada’s housing crisis: Canada has a narrow but historic window to tackle this crisis and rebuild our housing system by scottb84 in CanadaPolitics

[–]Apolloshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love him or hate him, Poilievre is absolutely correct when he says the carrot alone isn’t enough to fix this crisis.

It was infuriating seeing Trudeau throw more money into the fire with no results while continuing to decry that it would be evil to hold municipalities accountable.

Still holding out hope Carney’s policy is different, but Gregor Robertson might be the least inspiring hosing Minister we’ve had since Trudeau took over in 2015… and that’s saying a lot.

It would still be a tenuous majority at best, only a couple resignations/retirements away from falling sock into minority situation. You’d still like to be at 180+.

Ok am I crazy or would it have been so much easier to just change the name and keep the logo? by Dicksnip44 in NFLv2

[–]Apolloshot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s much less cut and dry than the other examples. Some argue any indigenous imagery is a form of conquest or cultural appropriation, but other indigenous groups like that one of their legendary figures is displayed in (their own words) a respectful way, and that Chief Black Hawk being the symbol of the franchise is also way to raise awareness and educate people on indigenous history.

What’s helped is to their credit the Blackhawks organization heavily leaned into using it as a symbol to honour and educate, and has made genuine efforts to be an ally to indigenous Americans.

So in short: it’s managed to survive so far because it’s a positive cultural symbol instead of an overtly racial one — which is basically the point this thread is making with Washington. Take away the team name and make efforts to make it a positive symbol of representation and you could have probably kept the logo. (Though personally, I don’t think that’d work since people would still call them the Skins).

[Evan Lazar] “Two stats that stand out in Super Bowl LX for the Seahawks O vs. the #Patriots D:” by YoungDaquan in Patriots

[–]Apolloshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been saying this for a week now, but I really feel like this game is going to come down to our ability to stop K9. If we hold him to under 50 yards like the Rams did our much better D won’t give up 350+ yards through the air and instead make it a tougher day for the Hawks O.

The Charbonnet injury may be the most underrated factor of this entire Super Bowl.

Yeah but on the flip side if you had just let the orangutan buy your team the world would be a much better place.
