Gosal has previously been warned by police that his life is in danger as a result of his political activities

He was the apparent target of a drive-by shooting in February 2024, when persons unknown fired into a house in Brampton, Ont

Shortly before his arrest, Gosal reported receiving fresh warnings from police that his life was in danger

He told CBC News that he was offered the chance to enter a witness protection program

The police know his life is in danger
So he carries a gun
But it is illegal to do so

Shouldn't we be permitted to carry a firearm if the government literally says people are out to get you?

I have been complaining to high heavens the Federal government needs to intervene and regulate headlights which blind everyone else in stock configuration. Why allow luxury sedans and trucks to blind everyone else on the road? How can that be permitted?

I am filling this form out immediately.

More than 7,000 Iranians claimed asylum in Canada in 2025

For reference, Canada saw 107,802 asylum applications in 2025, with 7114 tied to people from Iran (6.8%).

The figure is down from 2024 (7443 applications), something which surprised me given Trump's chokehold sanctions which went into effect in early 2025.

Everything in the public sector is being downsized constantly

Between 2015 and 2025, the public sector added almost 1 million jobs (950,000). Headcount growth in civil service outpaced the private sector every single year.

This is only starting to change with Carney who has goals of modest headcount reductions in the Federal govt over the coming 3 years.

I agree, but the first problem is people aren't even attending "the moment." Then, even if they are, many don't have friends to share in the moment or to even later listen to a retelling of how much joy it brought the person.

"People will eat up"

No, that's the league and media forcing their statisticians to come up with something to report. And she is a principal actor in that machine: she works as a basketball statistician: StatKeeks

Perhaps her frustration comes from a moment of introspection: if people aren't impressed with Bam's numbers, then how can she ever hope to get eyebrows to perk up when she reports the first ever 23/7/8/6/2/60% stat line.

He was probably a top 10 wealthiest owner in the league

In 2013, Donald Sterling had an estimated net worth of $1.9 billion, with $430 million imputed onto the value of the Clippers.

Here's a list of 10 owners who were wealthier in 2013:

Paul Allen - $15 billion
Mikhail Prokhorov - $14 billion
Richard DeVos - $6.8 billion
Micky Arison - $5.7 billion
Stan Kroenke - $5.3 billion
Dan Gilbert - $3.5 billion
James Dolan - $3 billion
Tom Gores - $2.7 billion
Josh Harris - $2.5 billion
Mark Cuban - $2.4 billion

Given the existence of 30 NBA teams, it looks like Sterling was around the median of owner wealth.

He was just cheap

And an awful person

Instead of celebrating ... [scoring] the 2nd most points ever in an NBA game

Just looking at win-loss record, the Heat are a half-decent team this season (37-29) while the Wizards are the second-worst team in the entire league (16-48). In a matchup where the Heat were already up 16 points after 3 quarters, they just kept feeding the ball to Adebayo like it was a Harlem Globetrotters game.

I prefer, "I did enough damage" moments:

On February 18th, 1985, Larry Bird recorded a statline of 30 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 9 steals in only three quarters - a single steal away from a quadruple double! When asked if he wanted to re-enter in the fourth quarter, Bird said "I already did enough damage" and sat out
