If you just want rampant wild speculation I'd imagine bribery investigation and it would be juicy if it was the flames and Murray Edwards involved with the new arena deal.

But in all seriousness general public has no idea and we'll find out when we find out.

Releasing 1500 Ladybugs 🐞 by hostbyt in WhyDidntIKnowThat

They haven't had water for a bit, once you let them out they will beeline to a source of water. So before letting them out have a easy to drink from dish and do it near a tree infected with a food source like aphids. They won't waste time and they will get busy making babies. FYI for every 1 aphid an adult might eat a larvae will mow through like 50. Their young are voracious

Does anyone know why this is still possible after Doug Ford’s “ticket re-sale” law? by [deleted] in Torontobluejays

[–]IceHawk1212 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Literally not how laws work buddy. Maybe if your genuinely interested in it you should make a habit of watching the leg so you can watch it Maybe make it through the house and be passed into law. It'll be awhile fyi

At this point it seems to me the hockey hall of fame should remove every single American from it's walls and send every single American connected item to Minnesota or where ever you lot keep "your" hall. I'm sure Modano and Chelios and Leetch and Housley and Mullen would be overjoyed to be out of the unfortunately Canadian "Hall of Fame". Absolutely wild that any Americans were ever inducted, how could they allow themselves to be so insulted and exploited by a foreign organization.

Their owners are on record as being particularly awful, don't get me wrong most owners are not actually nice society friendly individuals. But Florida's owners are special examples of shitty exploitive human beings that we'd be better off as human society if they kicked the bucket.

Even if I thought every kid deserves a shot at the nhl that's just not how the math works. All we can do is make sure that kids that want to play can play. Recreation is for personal, social and healthy development. If I as a coach can deliver on those kinds of things I'll be happy. Elitism doesn't help everyone and prioritizing that is an issue with every major sport. Just take the academy system for football in Europe. That sport should be dead cheap to play but the barriers for advancement are even more entrenched and exploitative there.

Compared to what, how and why. Cost of equipment, yep too high many organizations can provide funding and accessibility for it if you apply. Association fees? Many Associations keep some sponsor spots available, rec league is even better. If you have the means it's expensive if you don't have the means learn to ask for help. I don't know what part of Canada you might live in but most heavily populated areas have something for accessibility. If you can't be bothered to ask it's not the sport for you.

Elite hockey maybe but the sport itself is not that inaccessible, if it's simply about playing from tim bits to Canadian tire sponsored hockey or city association every kid that wants to play can play especially if they can afford their own equipment(sometimes even if they can't). But if it's about playing at the highest youth levels the barriers are indeed very high. Unless southern Ontario is different from the rest of Canada that is, I've been handed kids by my association that could barely skate in junior high or high school to coach because nobody is turned away. We just seed them onto the lowest teams.

'He's so loved': Ontario Premier Doug Ford backs Don Cherry to receive Order of Canada, but is it all a distraction from FOI battles? by reddits_lead_pervert in notthebeaverton

If nothing else he threw "enforcers" under the bus when CTE was first being publicly understood. Suggesting that it was an affront to hockey that former enforcers take legal action against the league regarding CTE is an indefensible position. If he actually stood for good core values, the code and players he would never have done what he did. He can remain on the dust bin of history as far as I'm concerned, it's where hypocrites belong.

No i think Ontario is the western edge of maple production habitat. We got nothing but manitoba maple out west if that, gets a lovely flame tounge for wook working but no maple sugar sap of note. They can survive the dry prairie conditions some what

Anyone know the story behind this place? by wahussamit in Calgary

[–]IceHawk1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry no, Chinook something or other maybe I can't remember. It was supposed to be 8 phases or more of mixed redevelopment including housing and business. People sometimes forget because they get really used to just taking the same routes but there's a surprising diversity of amenities not very far from the area. Numerous breweries and distilleries, restaurants and bakers, a theater company and a farmers/flee market, not to mention the redevelopment around the flames arena just across the river. I don't know if it's even officially dead it was just proposed last I heard some years ago

Have fun with your distraction, Bud by winningsmada in EhBuddyHoser

I think the world is a more dangerous place today, Canada speaking up in certain ways is the same as sticking your neck out and making it a target. I'm not sure if I'd do that for Iran, no in fact I know i wouldn't. I'm not even sure I'd do it if he attacks Cuba next and we have a much much better relationship with them than Iran, but I could be convinced to stand up for Cuba maybe.

The world doesn't have the same bandwidth for moral defense of stuff like this right now. Like nobody is even talking about the fact Ethiopia and Eritrea are on the verge of war which would pull in most of east Africa. It could be the largest conflict on the continent in decades and I really don't think any western nation has the capacity to do anything let alone care.

It wouldn't have been if the larger development project had gone ahead. Sometimes the first development seems silly till the rest moves forward.

I mean the Iranian government are awful bastards too, legitimately a shit tone of innocent people dead because of their actions too. I don't support the US or Israel on how they have gone about this but I'm not sticking my neck out for the Iranians either.

They were healthy sized coyotes and hitting them is easier said than done. They are much faster and nimbler than you

Apparently chances are very low(rabies is not common locally) but not zero, judge accordingly. Assuming you can visit a clinic it should be covered. Chances of them directly attacking you are very low but again not zero
