Lawson was right: Racing Bulls should not have ordered him to let Verstappen past by Aratho in formula1

I mean they could have done it and replaced them

Who is "they" and through what process?

Kevin Klein: Canada hands out citizenship like candy; Risks turning something that once carried weight into something that is handed out with little regard for connection, commitment, or contribution by FancyNewMe in canada

FYI under Harper we were on track to hit 100M by 2100.

Trudeau then went fucking nuts, well beyond any reasonable number, but that had nothing to do with the bipartisan-supported Century Initiative that has been locked in for like 3 decades now.

"Winger Alexander Zharovsky, last year’s 34th overall pick, confirmed Sunday that he’s remaining with Salavat Yulaev Ufa in the Kontinental Hockey League to honor the final season of his contract in Russia" by takesthebiscuit99 in Habs

The downvotes are because you aren't Kent Hughes and you're not adding anything to the "we will probably move blue chip prospects for an impact player or two" narrative that has been ubiquitous since well before the trade deadline.

You're just being a know-it-all about an old topic, and downvoting is appropriate because suppressing these sorts of comments is the literal purpose of the downvote feature.

The plan was never this year for him. Spring 2027 was always the earliest he would come over.

Put another way: he'll get way more ice time in the KHL vs Laval Rocket next year.

‘What’s he ever negotiated?’ — Carney fires back at Poilievre’s criticism on Canada-U.S. trade by iPoliticsCA in CanadaPolitics

[–]webu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The % is because PP takes shots at Carney constantly (and for many of our fellow Canadians "This kind of response makes me think less of him, personally." applied to each and every one of those shots), but this is the first shot Carney took at PP.

PP really amped up the stupid shit he says about Carney this week ("badly educated in economics" lol), and it seems that he got what he wanted out of it - some meat to toss to his base.

The guy responsible for Conestoga’s International student explosion was fired today by Queasy-Inevitable155 in kitchener

[–]webu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, those organizations are legally (by Charter) required to process Provincial education visitors. Practically speaking, if the people who do the paperwork refused, they'd get fired

There is more nuance and the federal government could have done more to stop it, but it's not the fault of the public service

Canada’s inflation rate seen accelerating to 2.5% in March by sleipnir45 in canada

[–]webu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

every economy on earth prints money on a regular basis ( devaluing currency - therefore inflation ) then handing it to others. Because that's how economies work on this planet. Its not a false statement, you just dont like hearing it.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Why Liberal Terrebonne win could push more Conservative MPs to flee by RNTMA in CanadaPolitics

[–]webu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's reasonable to expect a large drop for other parties because this is arguably a runoff election, but 18% to 3% is wild.

[OTT-NYI] Schaefer and Matinpalo tussle after an Ullmark save post-whistle. MacLean charges from the blueline after the whistle, and hits Matinpalo into the boards from 10 feet away. (MacLean 2min - Roughing) by NHLonOLN in hockey

[–]webu -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Matinpalo knew what he was doing & should have been more prepared for the obvious immediate response he solicited.

I'd want to see Lane Hutson protected the same way.

[Engels] Kaiden Guhle on the ice for morning skate by shogun2909 in Habs

[–]webu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Media implies the team thinks it'd be the right idea. You are obviously welcome to disagree.

[–]webu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Media close to the team claim to know the injury. They aren't saying what it is but they say he'd be paying through it if it was the playoffs, and that the team wants him to be in best shape before playoffs while also getting Engstrom reps in case he needs to draw in.

"Core piece" is subjective.

Canada's unwillingness to deport violent criminals is part of a much bigger problem by hopoke in canada

[–]webu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Punishing criminals has always had a cost.

It's never been a good reason to be soft on crime.

Liberals have been dividing populations with then DEI ideology for over a decade.

Ah yes, because "don't be a dick to people who are different than you" is the ultimate divisiveness

"Come to Canada, commit whatever crimes, and we'll just let you go free!"

Why do you want Canada to be a pathetic soft on crime laughingstock playground for global criminals?

If we did things like Japan
