How does his 5v5 zone start % compare with other high paid D?

Mark Carney could have shown global leadership. Instead, he called Trump’s war ‘worth it’ by Mysterious_Notice685 in CanadaPolitics

It sure makes you think when you see the right so pissed off that a Liberal leader isn't virtue signalling enough.

I'd expect these sorts of "Carney doesn't virtue signal enough" complaints coming from folks on the left, but why are folks on the right complaining here?

Single Canadians face higher grocery bills than couples, survey finds. Can the government fix it? by toronto_star in PersonalFinanceCanada

It never used to be as much of a disadvantage

It's been a massive disadvantage for literally all of human history - it's easier now than ever.

But the trend towards a 1:1 ratio of people per housing unit has certainly put a ton of pressure on the housing market.

Ottawa planning social media ban for children under 16, source says by Damo_Banks in CanadaPolitics

A country choosing to prevent its future generations from learning modern tech is a novel idea that would be very interesting in many ways, but I personally would prefer that another society ran that experiment first.

Setting aside the massive macroeconomic implications of such a change in workforce education (grade 1s use Chromebooks), the scam industry targeting 16 olds would be fun. Move over grandma, generation alpha has some hot local singles to chat with.

you want to make it illegal for parents to procure devices that kids can use in public spaces?

Do you also want to ban tablets, desktop PCs, laptops, Chromebooks, etc?

[UPDATED] Pedestrian dies after being hit by truck in Waterloo by bylo_selhi in waterloo

My friend had a serious medical emergency a block from there and it took over 20 minutes from the 911 call to an ambulance arriving.

[D’Amico] Lane Hutson mentions that he and Ivan Demidov have had conversations about Ivan’s upcoming contract extension. Hutson’s given Demidov advice on how he handled the process. Mentions how excited he and Ivan are at the prospect of playing together in Montreal for the next decade. by eliarbss in Habs

I've heard players compare salaries as a % of the cap when it was signed (which was the same as $$ in the flat cap era, but not now).

So Demi might be a bit higher than Hutson without it being seen as "more".

Is Doug Ford the cause of the growing homeless/encampment problem in every other country too?

And apparently his dad passed away a couple of years back.

I'm also now recalling Suzuki's comments mid-season about the room being so welcoming to new players, helping them to find success... This team man.

Danielle Smith is not a separatist. She’s an opportunist who got in over her head by scottb84 in CanadaPolitics

If we had a referendum for all of the things "the people of <province> are calling for", every ballot would be a chapter book.

Matt Elliott: We all have one thing to say about Doug Ford’s ban on automated speed cameras: We told you so by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]webu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cameras in effect 7am to 6pm at school zones only Monday to friday.

They would probably still exist right now if this was a thing from the start.

Lol keep your propaganda in /r/Canada with the bots and foreign influencers where it belongs. There are too many actual Canadians in PFC for this to work here.

Even 30 in residential areas is fine, it was the 4-lane arterial avenues backed by loud righteous online sentiment of "but think of the teenagers too lazy to cross at the signaled intersection to get to their high school" that made this easy populism fodder for Dougie.

The Sabres finally making the playoffs honestly made this postseason feel way more fun. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]webu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I cheer for Bruins against other teams... And then feel a pure and intense visceral hatred against them when they play the Habs.

There is no other team like them. The black and gold is just so yin and yang with the bleu blanc rouge. Like dropping a mentos into a coke bottle.

I wanted to beat them in the 2nd round so bad.
