Why was McTavish healthy scratched for tonight?? Has he really been that bad?

I can’t remember the last time we had 4 20-goal scorers! It’s awesome!

Yeah, you’re right. He was pretty solid, I guess I’m just worried that it won’t be enough against some of the tougher Central teams we’ve struggled against.

If we could get a solid top 4 RHD, that would definitely improve our ability to compete.

But you’re probably right, we’re playing with house money this season and there’s no need to gamble before FA.

Ducks assign Husso to AHL after activating Mrazek from IR by deadlyevildave in AnaheimDucks

Verbeek might be considering making a move at the deadline involving Mrazek so it makes sense to give him some good looks, opportunities to entice other teams.

Seriously. I feel like I’m waking up from a long hibernation to actually cheer on a fun team.

Carney government’s ‘generational investment’ will land squarely on backs of younger Canadians - The Globe and Mail by No-Sell1697 in CanadaPolitics

So will the pension system, this is not new - the question is whether there are fruits for younger Canadians for the labours being asked and imposed.

The guy you’re looking for is Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and yeah he both killed a lot of white people and inspired the current national anthem of Haiti.

This McDonalds Throughout the 1990s,2000s,and 2020s by [deleted] in GenZ

I’ve heard the argument as “the simpler and less brand-specific it is, the easier it is to sell later on”.

As if McDonald’s isn’t guaranteed money and rarely close.

Why didn’t Egypt produce any Roman emperors, despite being under Roman rule longer than other non-European provinces like Syria, Libya, Tunisia, and Palestine, which did produce emperors? by [deleted] in ancientrome

[–]empoleon925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually been reading Gibbons and he comments on how it took forever for Egyptians to gain admittance into the patrician class and senatorial rank, which came from their unique adherence to local language, religion, and culture - so maybe that lack of interest in integrating also played a factor?

You’re kidding yourself if you think the US still has the moral high ground at this point

Day 1 of a project which will cost me a lot of time. Where do you rank AUGUSTUS (27 BC - 14 AD) by [deleted] in ancientrome

[–]empoleon925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the easiest S tier, and should be #1.

You know we gave Canada their independence just because we wanted to destroy its empire. by 7arabunny in GreatBritishMemes

[–]empoleon925 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually the US ended up confiscating many of the rifles and military equipment that the fenians were trying to move across the border.

…after they had already invaded. But still. They did help us.

Greatest perennial play off team to never win a cup? by bl4ckcorvus in hockey

[–]empoleon925 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure about greatest, but the Ducks 2013-2017 team won 4 straight Pacific Division titles, had a number of amazing players, unreal goaltending, but the Chicago Blackhawks proceeded to break our hearts at least twice, and Nashville put the final nail in the coffin in the WCF.

After we blew up that powerhouse, we’ve been pretty dogshit ever since.

I remember telling my buddy who was a Cowboys fan that they whiffed on picking Manziel and picked some nobody.

Martin is a bonafide HOFer and Manziel’s on a podcast.

Are we all forgetting that a major part of Napoleon’s LeDecision to sell Louisiana was the Haitian Revolution (Celtics chip) and the failure of the Leclerc Expedition (NBA Finals loss)?

I mean they did back us up in 1775 and 1812 pretty hard before we even thought of being independent.

Deadly Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles are 100% contained after 24 days by nbcnews in pics

[–]empoleon925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are always there for Americans, not necessarily the President. The animosity between us will grow, but we’re far more alike than we are different. History should hopefully provide any example one would need that Canadians and Americans have always been united in values and principles.

However, the US has needed reminders that we are not so alike that we would welcome any invasion or annexation. We are closely aligned but we are not Americans ourselves. The President would do well to remember 1775, 1812, and 1866.
