McDavid plays the Canucks like he's playing NHL 21 on 'Rookie' mode difficulty.

GET THE PUCK OUT OMG

Lol that's just a symptom of a bunch of new money for those who benefited from the rapid economic growth in China during the 90s-2000s. Some Koreans do the same thing, but not as much.

BC peaches are to die for. The stuff from California doesn't even come close.

I feel like this distinction between HK and mainlanders has been accelerating over the past decade or so, especially amongst the Asian community in Canada as a whole.

Miller keeps double-clutching. He's been second guessing himself a lot on little plays here and there.

Bears and Bulls are in a total dogfight this week.

Gaudette must be foaming at the mouth for a goal

Boeser's a bust tRadE HiM 4 dUmBa

For a split second, I thought you weren't joking. Just reminds you how crazy those 4 years were

Overall play has been fine. It's these one-off bonehead mistakes that's costing us.

Jesus, Jake

That last bit from Kesler when he talked about his kids really made my heart sink - hope the NHL gets their heads around this soon.

This makes you think twice when you start criticizing a player because he's "injury prone" or when you cheer on someone because he's an absolute "warrior."

Thanks, really appreciate this. You've been clearing up concepts I've been trying decode in my brain for the past few weeks.

I've been noticing this as well...a lot of signals...

Because they believe they're not. Telling these people they're ignorant for voting against their own interests or furthering inequality/racism/etc is futile without a civil conversation about why you believe they are, in fact, voting against their best interests and also hearing them out on why they believe the contrary. For the record, I whole-heartedly agree with you.

Ah, I see what you're saying. Yes, there is a logical fallacy in what I originally said, but I wasn't trying to make the claim Trump and his supporters weren't racist, I was trying to point out that many of his voters simply just don't understand how their support for Trump further perpetuates toxic racism in America. The extremists who yell and shout for white supremacy? Just ignore that white noise (no pun intended). Those are hopeless idiots that aren't worth our time. I'm talking about the other millions of regular Joes who genuinely believe in his anti-establishment, "for the people" mantra. Calling these people racists right off the bat isn't going to do any good, it just causes more division. You need to come at it from a different angle. Many people on the Left need to better understand where these voters are coming from instead of automatically demonizing them. Did some of the voters have some serious policy considerations that led them to vote for Trump? Are they simply unaware of the serious residual effects on Black Americans, even after the Civil Rights Act? Do they believe lower taxes will better there socioeconomic circumstances? You need to have dialogue over these types of things instead of just pointing the finger and yelling "racist." Are Republicans guilty of pointing the finger at Lefties and just calling them snowflakes? Of course. And that's the problem. Racist! Snowflake! Socialist! Fascist! Throwing these words around at each other gets no one anywhere. It just makes things worse and that's why the title of this thread resonates with me. People on both sides constantly feel like they're being persecuted for their political beliefs. Why would you want to have a conversation with someone on the opposite of the aisle when you feel like they're just going to persecute you for what you believe in? Like many here, I believe it's right to call out Trump for so many things. Yes, he has widened racial divisions. Yes, he deserves to be impeached. Yes, he is a compulsive liar. But just because you're right doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it. Because the people who believe you aren't right are going to shut the door right in your face and never listen to what you have to say ever again. And remember, those people are entitled to the exact same amount of power at the voting booths as you are, no matter what. In the case of America, there's roughly 74 million of them. We don't get this anymore: Not the most applicable example, but you get my point.

No...? Or at least I don't support the way ANTIFA advocates for anti-facism, but that doesn't make me supportive of facism. But please elaborate on your point. It's the end of a working day just before a long weekend, and I've been reading through legislation all day for work, so my cooked out brain doesn't quite understand what you're getting at

Some people who voted for Trump genuinely did not believe he was a racist. A lot of his voters also staunchly believed they themselves were not racist. Regardless of whether the voters were fed misinformation or purely ignorant, it's not as black and white as you think it is. Calling people racists who seriously believe they're not racist isn't a healthy way of having a conversation and mending differences.

Another important number, but buried in the article: "only 544 people — or 0.1% — have been subsequently diagnosed with the coronavirus" Good to see. Let's hope we can get the vaccines here in Canada rolling soon cause it looks like the UK variant is starting to make its presence felt.

What the hell, someone get in front of the net

Miller finally starting to show some fight and get pissed off instead of pouting.
