Ton histoire est une épopée des plus brillants exploits

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

Excellent news. I like the way the main play by play guy on RDS says his name

I like how this graphic kinda makes it look like Hellebuyck had been traded FOR the New Jersey Devils

Pet peeve: when people misplace the x in "espresxso"

Remember, it’s only a waste of time and money if we don’t take this result as a mandate to relentlessly humiliate and ostracize this movement.

I am both elated and pissed off.

Alberta may be an exhausting shitshow, but it's not all bad. For example, it's where my cats are.

Most of the coverage tonight has been a relitigation of Alberta’s grievances. Talking to separatists whining about Trudeau, panelists whining about Trudeau…and nobody ever really trying to introduce facts to their feelings. Pathetic.

Little known fact (among Alberta separatists): "Oil Country" is a hockey marketing slogan, not a fucking political philosophy.

This is what I tell people from outside of Alberta: you notice how these people have failed after all this time to produce a single presentable standard-bearer? It’s because they have nobody presentable—this is not a broad-based movement. It is a congregation of our most egregious kooks.

It's... it's beautiful! 💚💛

This is quote-post bait. Ah, crap.

Just voted in an advance poll for The Dumbest Referendum. FWIW, there was no line, so don't let a fear of waiting stop you, fellow Albertans.

I'm watching the Riders-Als game on RDS even though my French is still at a level where I get a bit excited if I understand a complete sentence in real time. I still prefer it to TSN most of the time.

a livestreamed execution is just a lynching

The Gee Bees

Holy shit.

All prisoners should have the right to vote while in prison

Today's not really doing much to counter my "humans can't communicate" theory.

They’re called “doomers” because they were dorn during the daby doom

That’s definitely a bird, I’m like 65% sure

To people who don’t believe that Kermit the Frog is real: What is the basis for your morality? Where does your moral standard come from?

Oh good now the overtime gets even dumber

TIL the French number for 13 is 16

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

I'm not sure for what, but Tucker Wetmore is definitely a euphemism

For example, federalists are more likely to value contact with reality.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

I must be making some real progress in learning French, because parts of this feel just like English to me.

LCF.ca a réintégré le jeu par jeu dans le radar du match, et il est maintenant entièrement en français! Il traduit « yards » par « mètres », mais c’est mieux que rien.

Getting tired of this curse that makes it so no one is ever convinced by any statement I make, but everyone is somehow always convinced by any question I ask, as if it were a statement.

Canadians: “America, you’re in real trouble and it’s going to take a shit-ton of work to fix your country.” Americans: “You’re saying mandate wrong.”

I've known @maxfawcett.bsky.social for many years and admired his work and sometimes worried a bit about his willingness to pick fights with randos on the internet, so I'm startled to learn that it's his mildly colloquial use of the term "mandate" that has seemingly all of US Bluesky in a tizzy

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

Yeah, that one that you circled. Look, you can quibble about the word "mandate" if you want, but the fact is that Americans elected an obvious madman, then elected him again even after a coup attempt. As peoples, we share a lot. But as countries, Canada has to assume that America cannot be trusted.

Eh, whatever. Just name the treaty after him and he'll fall in line.
