Danielle Smith is the Canadian Natalie Harp. She's done everything short of dyeing her hair blonde to avail Trump-senpai and the broader culture war dipshitverse.

Trump is a bad dude with about 0 redeeming qualities, the fact that she keeps running over there to calm him down after he straight up attacked Canada is fucking pathetic.

After her "mandate" ultimately collapses, I hope she considers fleeing the country and spending some time wedged in a catering cart with Diaper Don.

And yet if they can find a handful of people who have some minor concerns about wind turbines or bike lanes, that's all the engagement they need to take swift decisive action.

Excellent! Every piece of bike infrastructure that gets built makes the network as a whole more usable. We've made significant progress in the last 5 years, it would be a real shame to lose our nerve at this stage.

Dreeshen and the rest of the seppies can just stop coming to the legislature if they have that much of an issue with being in an urban setting.

As utilitarian as pyjamas are, not everyone finds them to be in good taste.

This is probably the best outcome we could've hoped for as Canadians. It's far from an ideal situation, but at least we kept a shred of dignity in the end. I'm personally extremely disappointed in Carney for taking these negotiations as seriously as he has been, when it's obvious to everyone else the US is simply not interested in a mutually beneficial relationship. They only seek to exploit us and our resources for the sake of their own egos, like some kinda colonial playground bully.

The only worthwhile response is to give them nothing, and point and laugh as they hurt themselves trying to do something about it.

I still miss vape nation era H3. Really sad to watch them slowly start to exhibit the type of behaviour old Ethan would have definitely called out.

I think they are trying to directly copy amazon's model. I mean, having an online storefront with Canadian products is cool, but that alone is not likely to catch on and be profitable. I think it's one step in a much bigger plan.

Imagine if CPC sets up a warehouse in every major city across the country stocked with all the products listed on their storefront. Then they can fast-track local items into the mail stream as orders come in, or even have a separate fleet of delivery drivers just for that purpose. The new collective agreement already has carveouts for that type of position.

The ultimate goal would be to offer same-day delivery and start eating into prime's market share.

There's a kiosk-style compositor called cage that would work, at least for your main concern.

Then maybe use waypipe over ssh to do your work in the background. Alternatively, you can research setting up a multi-seat display manager, but I think you would need at least 2 GPUs to implement that properly.

I think I agree. Still in the period when facebook's userbase was mostly teenagers, and before smartphones became ubiquitous.

In my opinion it was facebook buying instagram in early 2012 that signalled the beginning of the end. Of course they were only following in the footsteps of google and yahoo before them, but it was the first domino in the enshittification of social media specifically.

Don't let your memes be dreams! Just a few more decades of smoking and you might be able to collect all the health conditions irl too

Honestly, throwing money in the pond would probably work. Specifically pennies. Dissolve enough copper and you'll have a vivid blue reflecting pool that also happens to be toxic to algae (and most other life forms).

 

CUPW has announced an immediate strike, and postal workers are currently walking off the job.

The minister of public works, Joel Lightbound, has announced his intentions to implement all of the recommedations laid out in the Kaplan report, including permanently ending door-to-door delivery and the requirement to deliver mail 5 days a week.

Not sure how he expected labour to respond to 1/3 of the workforce being made redundant.

I'm making a thread to discuss both games today: -13:00 EST / 10:00 PST โ€• CAN vs. FIN -20:00 EST / 17:00 PST โ€• USA vs. SWE

Team Canada news: Cale Makar is playing, Binnington gets the start.

If the first game ends in regulation, the winner will advance to the final against USA. In case it goes to overtime, the door will be open for Sweden to advance with a regulation win.

UPDATE: Matthew Tkachuk (lower body) will not play tonight, Chris Kreider will dress instead. Charlie McAvoy will also not play (I think? The article just says he will be replaced by Jake Sanderson, nothing else). Oettinger will start for USA; SWE goalie still tba.

UPDATE 2: As per Elliote Friedman just now, Mattias Ekholm and Viktor Arvidsson are out for team Sweden (rip oilers), Leo Carlsson and Rasmus Andersson are in. Linus Ullmark is expected to start.

UPDATE 3:

Results of early gameCAN 5 - 3 SWE

โ˜… Nathan Mackinnon (2G) โ˜…โ˜… Connor McDavid (1G, 1A) โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Mikael Granlund (2G)

Finland roared back from a 4-0 deficit with seven minutes remaining in the game, causing a spike in heart rate across Canada when they made it a 4-3 game in the final minute. Sidney Crosby released the tension with an empty-net goal a few seconds later, punching Canada's ticket to the final on Thursday. The USA vs. SWE game later today is officially for pride only.

UPDATE 4: It turns out Elliotte Friedman was wrong, because I'm sitting here watching Ekholm and Arvidsson clearly playing. Rakell and Zibanejad are the actual scratches. Brady Tkachuk has also gone down with an injury. That's rough for team USA.

FINAL UPDATE:

Late game resultsUSA 1 - 2 SWE

โ˜… Jesper Bratt (1G) โ˜…โ˜… Samuel Ersson (.969 SV%) โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Zach Werenski (1A)

Team USA battled hard despite a bite from the injury bug (missing Matthews, McAvoy, both Tkachuks), but ultimately fell short of the win. Sweden was able to hold on to a narrow lead thanks in large part to a stellar goaltending performance from Samuel Ersson.

Thanks for hanging out everyone, it's been fun. Someone else will have to post the game thread on Thursday, as I'm going to be busy until at least the 2nd period. I'm looking forward to joining the discussion later on when I get the chance.

Until next time, take 'er easy, buds!

 

Let's see if we can drum up some activity around here

 

The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Leon Draisaitl to an eight-year contract extension starting in 2025-26 with an average annual value (AAV) of $14 million.

 

EDMONTON, AB โ€“ The Edmonton Oilers announced this morning they will not match contract offer sheets presented by the St. Louis Blues to forward Dylan Holloway and defenceman Philip Broberg.

As per NHL compensation guidelines, the Oilers will receive the Blues' second and third-round selections in the 2025 NHL Draft.

In a separate transaction with St. Louis, the Oilers have acquired the rights to defenceman Paul Fischer as well the Blues' third-round selection in the 2028 NHL Draft in exchange for future considerations.

Fischer is an unsigned selection from the 2023 NHL Draft (138th overall) entering his second season with Notre Dame (NCAA).
