  1. The price to pay for China’s belt and road diplomacy has been staggering. Australia, Canada and many others have learned that trade with China requires that you give up all your ability to criticize or act like a free democracy. The US ceded leadership in many places around the world over the last four years. Let’s hope that their re-engagement will bring a little balance back but new trade pacts with other partners will be crucial.
  2. I think that is essentially the next logical step. The republicans are being asked to choose between real democracy and Trump and so far it’s not going well. They may well splinter into some sort of Trumpian party and a form of the old Republican Party, (hopefully pre-Tea Party.) It will divide support but it may also draw some dems like Manchin and Gabbard.
  3. Quite a different response than “I’m sure there are very fine people on both sides.”
  4. Saw them live with The Cry and KD Lang. What a great night of Canadian bands!
  5. This. OJ had a good game before he was sat for Chatfield. JC grabbed his chance and has played really well. Isn’t it great to have the competition between two good prospects.
  6. Yes, yes and yes. These types of viruses are here to stay. We must be ready to deal with each new outbreak almost as it happens. If we learn nothing from this we are in big trouble. Being ill-prepared for covid 19 with ppe and vaccine technology might be called a mistake but next time will be inexcusable.
  7. Agree completely. Posting online may give you a chance to put your feelings into words. We can’t help by giving advice but we can let the person know that we are listening and we care. At the very least it helps to know that you matter.
  8. I can’t speak to the motives of these posters and I’m not suggesting we shouldn’t make note of them but it is heartwarming to see the impact that the Let’s Talk movement is having. Knowing that so many people have your back and offer love, support, and encouragement can be so helpful when you are at your lowest. Talk to a doctor, family member, friend, teammate or coworker. If that doesn’t help, post online. You will be surprised how many of us want to help.
  9. Same idea as when Petey said “I heard something squeaky behind me.”
  10. I can respect someone would have preferred to draft Tkachuk over Juolevi at the time but geez how long are people going to whine about it. I mean come one, why don’t we cry about choosing Guevremont over Rick Martin or Terry O’reilly? Can’t we just get over it and agree that the guy is a puke?
  11. I liked Tkachuk trying several times to slam the gate. Giordano just casually flips it open behind him.
  12. Not only is that exactly what we would say, it is what we already are saying. We have purchased an oversupply (maybe for charitable purposes) that we will donate to needy countries after we all have been vaccinated. I’m not sure how that is substantially different from the EU is saying. The WHO has already stated that wealthy countries are hoarding supply and leaving the less fortunate behind. I know it’s not a popular opinion but I’m not quite as proud of our position as many are.
  13. There is a whole generation of people like your mom who know the meaning of sacrifice. Sadly there exists today a sickening large group who want to see them “locked up” so they can get their iced Frappes and drum circles. These entitled children have literally ZERO empathy and because of that this will go on much longer and do more harm. Sad.
  14. Not home stereo but this reminds me of when I got my first car, a used ‘70 Pontiac Sprint. When I saved enough money I bought a Craig Powerplay 8track , premium at the time! Occasionally you’d have to shove a matchbook into to keep it from double-tracking. Slide down low in the seat, put a one-handed stiff arm on the wheel, pop in some Slade or Kraftwerk Autobahn and go driving. My home audio equipment now is light years better but nothing ever sounded finer than that! At least that’s the way I remember it...
  15. I started looking for stats about this but then I decided he probably can’t ante up.
  16. I need to look up how to start a go fund me page!
  17. You made me laugh! When I first read this I thought you talking about @RUPERTKBD post above.
