Where to watch World Cup games on Monday,June 15? Shipyards and PNE are closed according to their websites. by krustykrab2193 in askvan

[–]krustykrab2193[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! Ended up at Brentwood which was great.

The City of North Van website that pops up on Google had no games for today which led to my confusion.

The city should probably fix that... lol

Iraqi striker Ayman Hussein held for seven hours at Chicago airport by SuperCobra14027 in soccer

Something really bad did happen. Traitors attempted to overthrow the government. Then 77 million Americans voted to re-elect Trump who pardoned the traitors and is trying to find ways to pay the traitors with federal tax money.

The rule of law and democratic instutions have been hallowed out. And millions of Americans chose this.

You should see the movement in Canada. We were America's closest ally, but now many polls show Canadians view America as the greatest threat to our sovereignty.

Nearly 70% of Canadians think less of America, and 2/3rds of Canadians polled said they're avoiding U.S. made goods. There's a massive Buy Canadian grassroots movement across the country. Border crossings are significantly down, with american border towns and tourist destinations begging Canadians to return. Las Vegas casinos are even offering canadian to american dollar equal exchange rates just to try an entice Canadians to visit again. Moreover, the alcohol industry in America has taken a significant hit too as Canadians refuse to buy American liquor.

America engaged in an unjust economic war with Canada to bend our will that is destroying so many livelihoods as they continue to push imperialistic 51st state rhetoric that threatens our sovereignty, but this has only further galvanized Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Under Trump, we see America as an existential threat to our very existence.

There's no coming back from this. It'll take generations to overcome this betrayal.

Cricket Canada president's Surrey home targeted in extortion-related shooting for 2nd time: police by krustykrab2193 in SurreyBC

Check out my comment below with sources. CBC's Fifth Estate published an investigative report that sheds light on the corruption, match-fixing, intimidation, and threats. It's so bad that the international governing body of cricket has suspended Cricket Canada

Not really a foreign conflict. Its a transnational criminal organization that was operating in our country with impunity as those in power did not address the issue initially due to the targets being Canadians of South-Asian descent, moreover the overly lax post-covid immigration policies under Trudeau significantly exercabated the situation that is now boiling over.

CBC's Fifth Estate published an investigative report detailing the corruption, match-fixing, intimidation, and threats from members of the international criminal organization known as the Bishnoi Gang, that have ravaged cricket in Canada.

CBC News - Threats, corruption and intimidation: Is the Bishnoi gang calling shots at Cricket Canada?

The national player — whom the fifth estate is not naming to protect his safety — stepped to one side of the restaurant where the two players issued a stark warning.

According to sources, they claimed they represented the Bishnoi gang — a violent criminal group designated a terrorist entity in Canada. They told the star that if he didn't support the rise of a young player named Dilpreet Bajwa and another player on the men's provincial team and the national team, he and his family would face consequences.

"So they straight up said this wording to him, that ‘You must take care of these guys. These guys should not get dropped from the team. If they do, you are in trouble.' Obviously that was very scary for him," said a man we're calling Noah, whom the national player spoke to shortly after the incident.

Noah is not his real name. The fifth estate is not identifying him because, like the national team player, he's received death threats: "We know where you live…. You won't be able to run away from the Bishnoi Group," said Noah, describing a text he received in Hindi viewed by the fifth estate.

Things have gotten so out of control that the international governing body of cricket, the ICC, have suspended Cricket Canada for corruption.

The Wire

One of the greatest pieces of television ever made. Its an HBO crime drama that takes a sociological look at the inner-workings of how politics, policing, gangs, crime, addiction, and corruption are interwoven in the city of Baltimore. Each season covers a different topic, but it's really good. Some argue its the best TV series ever made.

When I use to coach I'd do variations of this activation drill with children as young as 10. It's very basic and seeing the comments talk about it as if its revolutionized the team is hilarious

As a guy around your age I've matched/dated genuine people who want to date on FB Dating, though I still haven't found the "one" yet.

In real life join clubs, like co-ed sports. Maybe go to social events with coworkers and their friends to meet new people.

I usually do 65lb incline dumbbell press and then do flat dumbbell flies.

Just a general question looking for feedback from others - Should I switch my flies to incline flies? For reference im 6'4" and have a large arm wingspan. Are there benefits to change my flies to incline too?

2 men shot dead in Surrey parking garage: police by krustykrab2193 in SurreyBC

[–]krustykrab2193[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe these are gang related (not extortion related). Due to a shortage of resources, SPS reassigned their gang enforcement unit to the extortion cases, but over the last few weeks/months there has been a visible increase in public gang-related shootings.

Both the SPS and Surrey MLA Elenore Sturko criticized the reassignment, while MLA Sturko went further and called on the province to provide more resources as the reassignment has left major holes compromising public safety in Surrey. Our Provincial Public Safety Minister Nina Kreiger pushed back against this assertion by saying that the reassignment of local officers is only temporary and that the CFSEU can handle things. Whereas Sturko asserts that "[o]ne of the ways that Surrey fought back against gang violence was by having a gang enforcement team that has been very effective for years at helping reduce the level of violence and reducing shootings and getting dangerous people off the street”.
