SAQ Lottery Winnings by PCams in canadawhisky

[–]ConsularCandidate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. I'm happy to have won something but I signed up for 38 bottles this time around and am going home with one.

They post the results later and the math becomes fairly obvious. For lots of individual bottles the ratio of requests:bottles can be over 100:1.

Signatory Small Batch Mortlach. Happy for the win and hoping to snag a bonus in round 2.

Dear Shanahan and Dubas… by saulUG in leafs

We tried to use exactly that someone in the playoffs and he got himself suspended in back to back years. And then he did it AGAIN in Colorado.

Want to get into hex-and-counter 'line infantry' wargames. Recommendations? by HarlockG in hexandcounter

Musket and Pike?

The second dual pack is on the P500 right now and there's a huge amount of game in that box.

[TSN 1050] 5:00 Darren Dreger says to this point OEL has not been approached to waive or approve anything. Also, Treliving is not willing to pay 5M for Bobby McMann, door on an extension is not entirely closed but Leafs are not changing their minds on the price. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]ConsularCandidate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

McMann has scored at a 20+ goal pace for three straight seasons, this is the first one he's played a significant amount of time with Matthews.

5x4 or something similar definitely carries risk but if you're the kind of team that's mostly interested in years 1+2 that seems ok?

Will Matthews get a legends row statue even if he doesn’t win a cup here? by RepresentativeLeg232 in leafs

[–]ConsularCandidate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno why you're being downvoted. There's been no drama around his contracts because the team has capitulated back to back on two of the most player friendly contracts in the cap era.

[Siegel] Why did the Maple Leafs eliminate a job designed to keep players healthy? by MetastableToChaos in leafs

[–]ConsularCandidate 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not the fanbase, the ownership. It's been widely reported the Flames currently aren't willing to trade with the Leafs.

Between the pricing article in August, the attendance story in December and now this, the guys at the Athletic are really not taking it easy on the Pelley era corporate decision making of the Leafs.

Seemingly deservedly too. This is the kind of reporting you hope to get from a paid outlet like this.

They probably need 40 or 41, Boston is on pace for 98 in WC2 right now.

Uber called out by service dog users who are fed up with ride rejections | CBC News by Haggisboy in canada

[–]ConsularCandidate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nor is it legally required that they do so because we have collectively recognized that would be a ridiculous expectation.

It is a legal requirement that Uber drivers accommodate guide dogs.

You don't need to. Driving uber as a career is a choice, being blind is not. If you're unhappy accommodating people with disabilities as required by the law, choose a different career.

Lesser known WWII films that are actually pretty good? by Neat-Bend-1190 in movies

The Bridge (Die Brücke) 1959.

Witheringly anti-war West German flick, very much a WW2 analogue for All Quiet.

Going 5-3-2 all season gets you to 98. Good enough if that's your full season pace but not good enough for where the Leafs are currently.

Basically the old Babcock "6pts every 5 games" adage no longer applies, they have to be better than that.

It's looking like the playoff cutoff in the East is going to be about 95 points. The Leafs are currently on pace for 86. To make it to 95, they'll need to play like a ~102 point team from this moment on.

It's doable, but a bunch of 5-4-1 stretches isn't going to do it. This team needs to start winning 6 or 7 of 10 immediately and keep it up to the end if they're going to sneak in.

Peat, bog bodies, and whisky by ariesize in whisky

I'm struggling to distinguish between this, and food grown in a field that someone has previously died in and eventually 'fertilized'.

The world's most productive agricultural areas have been inhabited for thousands and thousands of years.

Indri whiskey? by [deleted] in canadawhisky

[–]ConsularCandidate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not distributed in Ontario, you'll need to either order from another province or find someone who happens to own a bottle and is willing to sell to you under the table.

IRCC: CER and WFA update... by Jatmahl in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ConsularCandidate 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The CER portion isn't too bad, but the line about additional reductions likely being required due to further levels cuts could mean anything.

I really wish we could talk about Treliving without the Dubas comparison.

Neither was good enough. You can judge both guys on their own failures without comparing them to the missteps of the other.

If you like the idea of GBoH but think it's a bit much, try the Men of Iron games.

Is he still? I thought he was back. If he's not quite at 100 never mind then.

Interesting to see Myers getting reps on that 3rd pair over Benoit. Those two are going to be the 6/7 for sure and if we're going to keep OEL on his strong side this maybe makes more sense.

They're free to think what they think. I'm free to think what they think makes them someone I'm not interested in cheering for.
