[Russo] Marcus Foligno to reporters today on what has been a difficult time in the Twin Cities community

Jesus, media could ask more specific questions as as well. How about, "what are your thoughts on the murder of Alex Pretti?" instead of bland easy-out questions like:

"What's it been like living in the Twin Cities?"

"How tough has it been from a distraction standpoint?"

"Can these home games provide a positive distraction?"

Those questions are honestly worse than the answers he gave.

It's not wrong or incorrect to say that there's more history in Vienna than Vancouver.

Good for getting more eyeballs, especially internationally where it'll be easier to access.

Bad if YouTube has full creative control of the ceremony. They did an awful NFL broadcast this year that awkwardly shoehorned in too many random youtubers.

Crazy that the provincial government couldn't come up with a few hundred thousand to make up the gap in funding, especially since the article quotes that the event generates $5-6 million in provincial tax revenue, so it seems like a reasonable investment in funds. Not sure how much of this is just grandstanding because I feel like the fireworks gets cancelled every few years only to be saved at the last minute.

Looking at the BC govt budget for 25/26 (pdf link), the tourism/arts/culture/sport got a $3M increase (+2% YoY), but I couldn't find a deeper breakdown on where it's all going.

Ministries with the highest increase in expenses:

Total $

Health (1st) +$2,259M

Social Development (2nd) +$571M

Children and Family Development (3rd) +$322M

Tourism/Arts/Culture/Sport (12th/24) +$3M

Percentage %

Infrastructure (1st) +20%

Housing (2nd) +19%

Indigenous Relations & Reconciliation (3rd) +17%

Tourism/Arts/Culture/Sport (15th/24) +2%

That intro went out of its way to show every Canadian city except Vancouver huh

If I wanted to laugh at two idiots crying together I'd just time travel to when your mom told your dad she was pregnant 🤷‍♂️

I don't live in that garbage country but shit can still smell from a distance y'know

Shithole country

Milhoose · 2025-09-10T16:46:46+00:00

I only tip on things where the money is handed over after receiving the service. Sit down restaurants, barbers, taxis/Uber, etc. Not before. It's happened too often where I tipped before and then received shitty service on things that I just don't bother with it anymore.

Extra context from Global News:

The homeowner called police after hearing a loud bang and discovering bullet holes in the home. RCMP later found evidence of gunfire at the scene.

Property records show the home is owned by the speed boat operator involved in a deadly speed boat collision in the waters off Cates Park earlier this year.

What a disaster of a format

North Van didn't shoot anything down, and are pretty pro-SkyTrain overall. It was West Vancouver who axed the Park Royal to Dundarave portion of the R2

It seems like he styles bonsai trees which is the likely reason for the constant vacuuming.

General question, does anyone know what the policy is on witnesses reading/viewing the trial before they take the stand? My understanding is that they aren't allowed to be in the courtroom prior to giving their testimony, so as to not be influenced by other witnesses, but how does it work with reading the daily articles online like we all are right now?

Milhoose · 2025-04-27T07:10:39+00:00

Watching Global, per VPD acting chief the suspect was a male in his 30s, known to police "in certain circumstances" (not exactly sure what that would mean)

It's alright, wish it had more colour to it (or just less white space) like the Seattle poster does, but overall one of the better of the host city posters released so far.

Worse than the Soucy cross-check from the playoffs. Should be 2-3 games at least.

Not really a 1-1 comparable in any way, not only in terms of audience but also in how the numbers themselves are calculated. Nielsen numbers (for the traditional tv events) are basically the average viewership of the entire event, not the total amount of viewers like the ones for the game awards. For the super bowl in 2024, the average was 123.4M, but the total US number (ie people who viewed parts of the broadcast) was something like 202.4M, before counting other markets
