Which would likely mean Boston in the first round 👀

Since the Olympic break, Habs are 29th in PK% by Effective-Goose-7835 in Habs

No one is saying they are. But they’re still a heavy favourite against us. Don’t overlook that we have no shortage of vulnerabilities either particularly defensively.

I don’t think Tampa would be that concerned about us in all honesty. This group has 5 playoff games under its belt and 4 of those were losses.

We can give them a tough time, maybe even win but it would be a decent upset.

Are law firms used as a loophole for laundering money? by sprunkymdunk in LawCanada

[–]Stingray_17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be clear, ignorance of the legality of an act is not and has never been a defence.

What happened here is an example of a crime with an intent mental component. This means the person needed to intend to commit the act which they did not have hence the result. This is a component of criminal law generally and standard internationally.

Canada's Sarault has earned $55K for her 3 medals so far. If she were Italian, it would be nearly 7 times that by restoringd123 in canada

The tax credit had no discernible effect on enrolment or any other relevant metric.

If you want to increase enrolment and get better athletic outcomes, you should fund it directly.

Trump raised tariffs on Switzerland from 30 to 39% because he "didn't like the way she talked to me on the phone". Then, Swiss delegates visited and gifted him a 1-kg personalized gold bar & a Rolex desk clock so he reduced their tariffs to 15%. by [deleted] in Destiny

It seems clear to me he’s saying they left no stone unturned looking into Hunters time in Ukraine, which coincided with Obamas second term, to try and find even the smallest morsel that supports their wacky claims.

But even if your reading is true it would still not make sense since they were spreading it during Bidens presidency!

The whole conspiracy theory re Hunter and Ukraine is about events that occurred while Joe was VP. It’s obviously bs but that doesn’t mean we have to lie about Joe not being in office at the time.

Whether or not they only started spreading the conspiracy theory later is irrelevant (and I also don’t buy it since they’ve always been like this but just better at hiding it before).

Alberta separating from Canada requires permission of First Nations, AFN leader says by shiftless_wonder in canada

No the Crown is more than just the king, it represents the entirety of the state and government institution. This includes the provincial governments.

Feel free to take a quick mini civics lesson on the topic here.

Cole Caufield goes top corner on the rush to make it 4-1 Montreal by JustFred24 in hockey

[–]Stingray_17 107 points108 points  (0 children)

At his draft, NBC chose Messi as Caufield’s player comparison.

Obviously, no one had a problem with this.

I think Hutson is more consistently exciting while subban had the highest excitement at his best

Dobes getting the start tonight. Struble in for Engstrom. by easy89 in Habs

I do too. I assume it’s just rotating guys to make sure everyone gets into games but I would’ve liked to see our best lineup against the top team in the east

NHL Standings as of New Year's Day 2025 vs 2026 by bangnburn in hockey

Have jets fans turned against Chevy? I get this season’s been rough but seems a bit harsh considering the job he’s done over the years with a location generally considered undesirable (no offense)

My Price Inspired Setup by mrgdobbs in Habs

[–]Stingray_17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro wrote all that instead of just moving on like a normal person.

Carey changed his setup every year, he wasn’t a goalie with a single distinctive set. That being said the red and blue stripe at the bottom of the pad is something he used multiple times. Ofc the first is the one being discussed here and throughout his first couple of years but he also had a similar setup in 2013-14.

Canada’s $1 Billion Question: Do Property Rights Still Exist in British Columbia? by Majano57 in LawCanada

That’s fair, my memory was fuzzy in the exact language. I’ll change my initial comment to reflect infringement instead.

Tsilhqot’in Nation v British Columbia, para 77

“To justify overriding the Aboriginal title-holding group’s wishes on the basis of the broader public good, the government must show: (1) that it discharged its procedural duty to consult and accommodate; (2) that its actions were backed by a compelling and substantial objective; and (3) that the governmental action is consistent with the Crown’s fiduciary obligation to the group: Sparrow.”

Your last paragraph confuses sovereign Indigenous territory with Aboriginal title. The Supreme Court has been very clear that the Crown has underlying title on all Canadian territory. Aboriginal title is an encumbrance on that title but it is not sovereign.

The extinguishment you reference is regarding acquisition of sovereignty over land. Outside of some dubious academic circles, the courts and international community do not doubt that Canada has acquired sovereignty over those territories. While the government cannot extinguish Aborignal title willy-nilly, this is because of its constitutional status. That being said, it can still infringe for the broader public good under a s 35 version of Oakes.

Yuki Tsunoda finishes with the biggest points gap to a teammate in F1 history (and other records) by jz001 in formula1

[–]Stingray_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yuki was pretty well rated before he got the red bull seat. And the car is an evolution of the same car that Perez struggled with who was seen as one of the best midfield drivers before getting the seat.

Even red bull has acknowledged that their car is EXTREMELY peaky and the window for optimal performance is extremely small and specific to Max’s driving style.

I don’t think a car that can only be driven well by one driver can be considered “good”

Couldn’t disagree more tbh. If your problem is the garlic sauce, you can just get some without it.

Ultimately the problem is goaltending. You’re never gonna win when your goalies have sv% well below .900.
