  1. Washington Examiner? What? Your copy of the national Enquirer hasn't come in yet?
  2. Pretty sure it's right after milk and cookies, but before nap time....
  3. There was something else really big that took place around that time.....see if you can figure out was it is.....
  4. Here's a question for you: How many pipelines that were carrying Canadian oil before Biden was elected, are no longer carrying that oil?
  5. I play in a band with a guy who works as a heavy equipment operator at the coal terminal here in PR. He's one of those guys who gets tested and it isn't just for Cannabis. If we're rehearsing and he has to work the next day, he won't have a beer..... Ironically, he's one of those anti-vaxxers. He's not an idiot (he's actually really smart) but has a deep distrust of the government, especially a Liberal or NDP government. That being said, he's not like these Freedumb folks. He jokingly refers to himself as a leper and follows all the mandates. Doesn't eat out, or frequent public spaces....wears a mask if he absolutely has to go to the grocery store..... Just to make it even stranger, his adult son works at Shoppers Pharmacy.....
  6. It's always been kind of odd that Basketball is considered a Summer Olympics sport, but I can understand why the IOC (and the NBA) prefer it that way. The Summer games are bigger and higher profile and they happen in the off season for the pros....
  7. I don't know why, TBH. This game didn't really mean much in the long run..... I suppose it gives Canada some confidence moving forward (and a slightly easier path) but it's a pretty safe bet that these two teams will meet again in the Gold Medal game and if we think the Americans will be intimidated by a loss in which they had twice as many shots on goal as their opponents, we're kidding ourselves. They'll likely be every bit as confident as TC.... Canada should enjoy the win, but they're going to have to do it again....
  8. I went and looked at the mandate (issued in September, 2021, BTW) and there's a small crack. It lists "Health Care Facilities" and "home and community care locations, including client homes".....so I suppose the question is, does the Pharmacy at Safeway or Save-On count as a "Health Care facility"? As usual, the government fumbles what should have been an easy play....
  9. This is it exactly. I don't understand how this is even a debate. Pharmacists are in close contact with elderly immunocompromised people all the time. It's common sense they be required to be vaccinated against a virus that has killed almost 6 million people in less than three years.
  10. It's baffling actually....Homan is one of the best players in the world, but for some reason, she falls apart at the Olympics....
  11. My understanding was that we would be hosting jointly with the US and Mexico. IIRC, Canada and Mexico are each supposed to hold 10 matches, while the US holds the rest. I think we can handle 10 matches....
  12. You know what gets me? Chernobyl was over 35 years ago.....and not a single Russian superhero?
  13. I know, right? Remember that time we joined the war in Iraq, just because the US and UK invaded?
  14. I'm not sure "massive" and "anecdotal" belong beside each other in a sentence.... .... it's kind of like saying "billions of outliers".....
  15. You literally used the word "groups" in the post he was responding to.....
  16. I know right.....like that time in Charlottesville where they were marching through the streets chanting "Jews will not replace us!"
  17. This. Wanting the restrictions lifted and supporting the convoy are not analogous....
  18. To be fair, the rat problem will be solved once the protesters leave....
  19. Let me see if I've got this straight....protesters are demanding that JT be removed from office, are burning Canadian flags, carrying Confederate and "Don't Tread on Me" flags, carrying signs that say "F**k Trudeau", defacing Terry Fox's statue, stealing food from Homeless Shelters and are generally messing up the lives of ordinary citizens of Ottawa.... Trudeau (quite rightly) decides not to dignify such actions with any kind of engagement and he's "hiding" and "pretending he has Covid"....
  20. Man....as if going to school in Alberta wasn't already enough of a disadvantage....
  21. I know what you mean....I once killed a bottle of Jack with George Mason.... ....dude couldn't even build a brick wall.....
  22. Problem for them is, the flag burners are always going to get the most press.....
