Why would China even care about Canadians playing ice hockey? China has probably made money making hockey equipment or hockey themes toys etc. And even if China did want to ban Hockey do we really think the PM, who played hockey himself, will ban what is probably Canada's favourite sport just for a trade deal? Does Trump think Chinese boots will hit the ground and stop Canadians from shooting pucks around on frozen ponds?

It could end up similar to the gas pump where whatever payment system is there will play ads before you pay for the electricity. You can even pay extra to skip the ads.

I think a big part of it is our human hypocrisy. This co worker calls our natives "wagon burners" as an insult saying it was unjustified to treat the european settlers like that, yet he basically arms his whole family and locks down his house if a car pulls over near his house.

He can understand a desire to protect himself, his family, and his land, but he can't show any sympathy to others who had their families and land taken away. He vilifies hitler and idolizes trump. A lot of it boils down to hypocrisy.

Stupidity runs through conservative veins. I'm Canadian and I have a co-worker practically begging for trump to come here. He called our PM Mark Carney a weak leader for standing up to trump, cause that makes sense. Yet we all know damn well that if a dem was president, Carney would be called spineless for working with them instead of "fighting for a deal."

It would be nice to include a source for posts like this, to help prevent it being labeled as propaganda if the numbers are legit.

Pretty sad when holding people legally accountable is news worthy. This should be the standard.

I never meant to imply that in my comment.

My theory, Charlie wasn't always great to her and she is happy he is gone but not willing to admit that his misogyny actually hurt her at times.

There is wine all over the van, lets not do a group winery day again.

 

The group Greater Sudbury Safer Sidewalks says surveys it has conducted during the past two years of a pilot project exploring enhanced winter sidewalk maintenance clearly show the public wants the project to become permanent

 

Calling the federal Critical Minerals Strategy ‘Worthless,’ Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre said the government should be doing less, not more, to spur economic growth

 

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
