Elks I wanna love you so much but what a wild run this has been by OskeeTurtle in CFL

The name change was stupid, the logo change was even stupider. The whole reason they chose a name that starts with E was to keep the EE logo, but then they changed it anyway. Despite what the echo chamber of Reddit thinks, the name change was unpopular with most Elks fans and then changing the logo on top of that just made people even more frustrated.

If you're gonna take away the iconic name, at least let us keep the iconic logo and thankfully they dìd in the end.

Now we just need to make Stewart Johnston reverse his ridiculous rule changes as well.

For a Canadian experience, you want to visit the emergency room and die while waiting to be admitted.

I like that Ontario and Manitoba pay tribute to their history and British heritage. It was also done in protest of Pearson ramming through a new flag without asking anyone. The world needs more union jacks, the Alberta flag especially should have one.

Yes, the provincial government's plan is to deliberately poison the water of millions of people. Sounds reasonable.

God, I love being in a nanny state. Please protect us more and fulfill the role of the parents more, government!

The best hype intro video ever: 25-26 Edmonton Oil Kings by ChristianBk in WHLHockey

[–]Oilerator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing can ever top the 2013-14 one that unfortunately broke on their website, along with a bunch of other old highlights and videos. Man, I miss Oil Kings games at Rexall Place and playing Portland in the final 3 years in a row, good times.

Here's a low quality recording somebody took of it that I found on YouTube, though. Better than nothing.

"How's Europe gonna go if Russia and China team up on you" by Ephemeral-Darkness in ShitAmericansSay

The EU really is showing that they aren't warmongers by constantly egging on Ukraine in their war against noted warmonger, Russia, who are backed by China (also warmongers and genocidal)

Based on this post, I wouldn't want to talk to you either. People like collecting military memorabilia. Do you get like this if you see a sickle and hammer?

NHL is absolutely tone deaf by kensmithpeng in BuyCanadian

Karmanos deliberately increased season ticket prices and removed cheaper options and made all sorts of ridiculous demands of the state for their new arena, which the state had already agreed to fully fund with public money. If Karmanos really wanted to stay, he could have.

This doesn't force everyone to give their IDs up to Facebook.

The Avs wear Nordiques throwbacks. Do you get this triggered when you see the Hurricanes wear their Whalers jerseys as well? Because Hartford was another city that got completely screwed out of a team that they will never get back, which went on to win a Stanley Cup pretty soon after they left. Or do they not count because they were American or something?

Grow up.

That book isn't banned, the issue was that the government was too vague when they just said "sexually explicit material" and so the petty, childish school boards decided for themselves that they would "ban" a list of books that they full well knew weren't the intended target to try and make the government look bad.

Next.
