If I'm not mistaken, Scheifele has the fourth-most goals of Canadian NHLers this year so far - he and Kyle Connor have been the only ones regularly producing for the Jets.

Jets fans will be disappointed by the lack of Mark Scheifele, but he has seemingly been on the bubble all year.

Goaltending will be under the microscope for the duration of the Olympics, I'm sure.

There are probably a lot of lessons that could be learned from Portage & Main.

For the vast majority of the city's population, it was a place to pass through, not a place to exist, and it was absurd to have a city-wide referendum on it (I'm against referendums in general, but that's another discussion). Regional polling consistently showed that the people who actually live in the area supported re-opening the intersection to pedestrians.

The fears surrounding re-opening the intersection were stoked by former mayor Sam Katz for years, in the interest of cheap political points.

Sprinkle in some NIMBY businesses in the concourse below the interesection, and you have a recipe for inaction. Things only changed when they received a $74 million estimate to maintain the underground concourse.

I don't understand his motivation here - it seems to go well beyond his populist streak.

I can only assume that he sincerely believes that they're going to accomplish this within a year, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of roadmap to get those results.

No, that's them. I believe the caption is the photo credit.

I admittedly didn't look very hard, but this is what I found.

Honestly, it's such a word salad that I can't possibly be mad about it, if only because I was unable to decipher what, exactly, he was talking about.

A time jump wouldn't surprise me - IIRC, there were two three-month gaps in between episodes during season three.

I think it was probably an accident (I believe Global has since pulled it?), but a happy one.

Incumbent offensive coordinator Jason Hogan is being retained as Winnipeg’s running backs coach, a role he previously held from 2022 to 2024.

Awkward...

Bonus Round: The Black Path Crisis of 3069

This might turn out to be more relevant than your average comic book:

Kelly: And the third reason for the Klingons and their inclusion in The Last Starship is connected to Starfleet Academy, so we can’t really talk about it except to say that we’re laying some exciting groundwork for that series.

I'm not super comfortable with a lot of what he's saying, but it would be pretty tough to make the case that "not enough action" isn't an accurate statement.

According to new data released from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the country will fall well short of its 2030 climate goal — just halfway to its target of a 40 to 45 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels.

I'm deeply skeptical that his approach is going to do any better, but I support the idea of boosting investment in clean(er) alternatives. And he did get Alberta to agree to increase their industrial carbon price.

I've gotta say, with the exception of DS9, "traditional" Trek was fairly allergic to character development. Growing and learning were rarely a priority, to put it mildly.
