    Jets and Helle weathered the 1st period storm and were the better team in 2 3 and OT and DESERVED to win. CSW came to play.. Scheif woke up and that's a good thing.

    And that is why you support them, but you are wrong to think like that. The biggest thing eroding the middle class is giving rich and corporations tax breaks. All it does is download the burden onto the middle class.

    Are you still in love with Trump and playing the whataboutism game? Like really? you completely lost any moral ground to complain about how the Dems react to their own when you blindly support this president. You just have. Sorry dude.

    In most cases I agree, but if Helle never handles another puck, outside of the net, I think I’d be happy with that. I cringe everytime.

    There isn't any. None. Of course she's right. She's talking about the influence of money in American politics. For instance.... Sheldon Adelson, Jewish American casino billionaire that's what she's talking about. Trump's policy in Israel, comes from Adelson, cause of the money Adelson gives the Republicans. Hardly anti semitic. It's just a fact. None of these right wing people read beyond the headline.

    The freshman congresswoman made a true statement that has merit. But ofcourse being a woman of colour and a Muslim puts her square in the cross hairs of the white nationalist agenda. Don’t bother looking at trump’s own absurd remarks about 9/11. Just attack the dark lady.

    You mean 2018 First and Second round of the playoffs Jets. The third round Jets were a stink-eye Toronto Argos style pure stink up to watch. (Other than Game 1 which was pure momentum from Nashville).

    Gas prices here in BC are hovering at $1.50/L and that is before they jump the price for the long-weekend, rumour has it we will see $1.70/L this summer. We are now paying more for a liter of gas than we were when oil was selling for $100 per barrel. This has nothing to do with a new carbon tax as we have being paying that for over a decade already.

    Because he knows what Trump did and what evidence they have against him. I'm sure it's a lot and I'm sure it's damning. Any normal democracy would have booted Trump within the first few months but the Trump supporters love this stuff cause they're owning libs. So much fun to be an American Idiot.

    Season should be 80 games. 8 Divisions of 4 teams into 2 Conferences. 2 games against teams in opposite conf, 3 against same conf non-divisional opponents, and 4 against divisional opponents. One division champ and 4 wild cards. Season runs from October 1-March 31. Playoff games every other day alternating conferences until the finals, season done by May 31 at her latest. But yhat won’t happen either.

    Game winning goal is brilliant right from their own end. three passes to get from their own end to the red line. Then Conner to Wheeler, to Schiefele to Connor... goal. With guys all over them. Wow. Thought (till I fell asleep) that Meyers played really well.

    unenjoyable start... but seem to have fought off the initial onslaught. Laine is all over the ice. Playing very well. don''t know about Schiefele, Wheeler. look a bit weary. do not seem to win puck battles. choppy period. Blues played their guts out, got nothing.

    My issue too. I watched it and it wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t magnum. I understand the idea of having a female lead or co star. The original series gave hem a perfect set up. Magnum’s daughter. You don’t even need selleck in every episode. If, say, Robin/Higgins left the estate to Magnum and maybe it was in disarray. Magnum returns to the estate for Higgins funeral and finds out the estate is now his. His daughter is following in his footsteps and agrees to look after the estate. Magnum could appear from time to time. At least then, it’s emotionally connected to the original and yet can still be free to be new and different.

    Why is conservative politics such a natural home for white supremacists?: Neil Macdonald "Why is it that white supremacists, from the neo-Nazis who threw celebratory salutes the night of his election, to former KKK leader David Duke, to the Charlottesville torchbearers, to the New Zealand murderer, or Cesar Sayoc, the Florida bodybuilder who sent explosives to Trump's critics in 2018, gravitate right, rather than left? Why is conservative politics such a natural home for white supremacists? Canadian conservatives might ask themselves the same question. Rather than whining about how unfair it is that Liberals are associating Andrew Scheer with Faith Goldy — an obvious white supremacist (a label she rejects) who proudly advocates for "European identity" and "white identity," and who has contributed to a neo-Nazi podcast — they could instead reflect on why in heaven's name he appeared on her online diatribe show two years ago." https://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/conservative-politics-1.5099222
