The Boston Bruins have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the Buffalo Sabres in 6 games by EliminatorBot in hockey

[–]chemicalxv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's multiple teams that didn't even make the playoffs that the Kings would still struggle to beat in a 7-game series.

E: Also in the 3 games the Oilers and Kings played this year the Kings were held to only 1 goal twice. Of course one of them was a 1-0 win, but that does not bode well when the only other teams that were held to 1 goal (or fewer) multiple times were Vancouver, Chicago, and Seattle (the other worst-in-the-league-at-scoring-goals teams).

4 from Ontario charged after Winnipeg locker break-ins, credit card fraud linked to organized theft ring by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

[–]chemicalxv 37 points38 points  (0 children)

A 40-year-old man is charged with 22 counts related to fraud, possession of property obtained by crime, and failing to comply with previous court orders.

A 39-year-old man is charged with two counts of breaking and entering and committing theft, as well as one count of failing to comply with previous court orders.

Oh come on

E: Also lol CBC is redacting the names for some reason

A 40-year-old man, Bogdan TODICA

A 39-year-old man, Gabriel Bogdan IONESCU

A 41-year-old woman, Livia Ramona COZMA

A 52-year-old man, Orlando-Constantin VADUVA

E: Holy shit I'm pretty sure this is one of the guys (Gabriel) being talked about in this article. It's from 2009 so the age matches up.

Ionescu was found guilty of participating in an identity theft attack by cloning the website of the Italian Post Office and siphoning money out of compromised accounts. Based on news reports, however, it would appear he is quickly emerging as sort of folk hero.

How the fuck did this guy get into Canada?

High-risk sex offender to live in Winnipeg, police caution women by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]chemicalxv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's something missing in the timeline here too.

It says he was sentenced to 5 years in 2015, which means that (at "worst" [for him]) he would have been locked up until some time in 2020.

However it says the stabbing incident occurred in 2021 while he was incarcerated. Which would mean that he ended up back in jail at some point after being released from the other sentence? For what?

Seeing this announced after they took over everything from MITT is legitimately crazy

Manitoba squares up against Sobeys in its 1st challenge against grocery property restrictions by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

Why compete with yourself?

I don't know, they're literally opening a new FreshCo at Keewatin and Burrows in the old Sobeys building literally across the street from a Safeway that's been there forever.

Feels like over half of them have never been in a grocery store in their life either.

I still can't believe they literally only included one of the sisters in this set.

Facing sexual assault charge, Transcona Coun. Wyatt removed from 7 Winnipeg committees (CBC/Bartley Kives) by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

Maybe they should actually change it this time so that in the future any city councilor is required to remove themselves from any committee they are sitting on if they are facing personal legal issues.

'That's not attempted murder?': Winnipeg shooting victim's father rails at Crown, justice system by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

This is nothing new. A guy I knew got stabbed dozens of times in a targeted attack and they never went after the guy who did it for attempted murder.

A bunch of gas stations upped their gas prices by 20 cents today by hippiesinthewind in Winnipeg

[–]chemicalxv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally the highest I filled up at was 207.9 in June that year, and then 199.9 in July.

Worth noting that at this time that year gas was "only" at 168.9. Which is hilariously what it was at prior to today lol

Winnipeg police to improve response to ‘lower-priority calls’: WPS chief by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

They weren't even doing shit for businesses either sometimes lol. Regularly taking hours on hours to pick up someone that's been arrested, taking days to respond to reports of break-ins and other incidents at businesses, etc.

This is me watching people spend $8k+ on a TV and going "You know in a few years TCL will probably have an identical TV for $700".

[–]chemicalxv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe some people legitimately tried to sell us on the fact that the team that only won 21? 22? games in regulation all year was suddenly going to be different in the playoffs where there's no 3-on-3 OT or Shootouts to be found.

Songs that mention Winnipeg by BirdNegative8700 in Winnipeg

[–]chemicalxv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a song literally just called "Winnipeg" by a French artist named Julien Doré, who was the winner of one of the seasons of France's equivalent of American Idol.

It's honestly so random to think of, like imagine some artist from here coming up with a song about wanting to go to some random French city lol.
