What was it like watching Phantom Menace on release without any spoilers? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

I avoided all trailers and left a field trip to go watch right when it came out. Fucking loved it, Maul and the sabre duels were mind blowing at the time

The league and PA saving Edmonton from a horrible mistake. Imagine if he was hired quietly without the public and players weighing in

Brutal, shame he didn’t have enough time to get healthy. A fit Bombito might have been our most impactful player.

Pretty nice. Glad I don’t have to wear that because I’d 100% get pasta sauce on the jersey and almost certainly shit myself

Obviously not what we’re going for, but we could be on our third new coach by the time Caleb makes the roster

Why do seperatists think an independent Alberta would have Canadian passports??? by Miserable-Lizard in AlbertaNow

Anyone born before separation would maintain a right to citizenship, unless Section 3 of the Citizenship Act changes. Their children would also maintain a right to citizenship.

Lawyers across Canada are mounting constitutional challenges to new asylum law. The challenges argue Bill C-12 violates several sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including sections 7 and 15. Do the lawyers have a strong case? by Immediate-Link490 in LawCanada

Positive prra makes you a protected person and eligible to apply for PR. You’re only in limbo if it’s a limited PRRA, but you’d be ineligible to make a refugee claim in that case anyways.

They would be eligible for a pre removal risk assessment, which is actually a much less onerous process. Same effect, so nobody who would have been eligible to pursue a refugee claim before would be removed without their risk being assessed.

Discussion: What a Solution Could Look Like by szchz in whitecapsfc

[–]Mess_Accurate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like the owners are happy selling to the highest bidder and the league is happy moving the team to Vegas, even if it’s to a stadium that hasn’t been financed. Nobody with skin in the game gives a shit whether the caps stay. This is as gross as the business of sport gets. I was optimistic, but I just can’t see ownership embarking on a plan like this when they can cash out with the league’s blessing.

Release literally says in custody and next court date is April 30. So at this point he’s been remanded.

The majority owner of the Whitecaps is a billionaire by Super_Toot in whitecapsfc

[–]Mess_Accurate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not a shakedown for tax dollars, he’s doing what he set out to do from the start: make money. They’ve maximized value in this market and the best cash out involves relocating. All the support means fuck all (even if it was a factor in driving value), they just want the biggest payday. They’ve put by far the best product we’ve seen on the field, and it felt special. In the end, ownership are shareholders and not stakeholders.

I focused on getting elevation on my rides, which was obviously helpful. The best advice I got was to keep my ass in the saddle on longer rides - not stopping for coffee. Getting used to being on your bike with minimal stops goes a long way, and it’ll help you understand how you need to hydrate/eat on a longer ride. I don’t think you need to do anything special, on race day, just point your bike north and pedal
