The last residential school closed 25 years ago. I know Canadians pretend that this was a long time ago but it wasn't, at all.

The TV Thread
I agree about Breaking Bad. Took me a couple of years before I started but it quickly became a fav. A bit dark and it really went in an unusual direction. Homeland was good but not for everyone. They almost ruined it. I don't watch sitcoms anymore. I never really got into Big Band Theory but I did watch some.

If you haven't seen the The Wire, what are you doing with your life? It's absolutely amazing. I've watched it through 3 times. There are so many shows listed on this site that have had multi-year runs that I have never heard of.

I remember speaking with the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in spring 2018. It was the first drought like conditions we had seen in the province in around 15 years. Most of the staff in Agriculture, hadn't ever experienced one. Now, we're headed into our 3rd year of drought like conditions. Let's hope we get some good rainfall.- The Winnipeg Thread
Looking at the two week forecast, there is not much precipitation from here down south. Given the warm temps, I'm hopeful that there is not any flooding this spring. However, our we need rain. Hopefully, we'll have a wet spring after the crops are in the field.- Sportsnet Discontinues Radio Broadcasts of Blue Jays Games
I was wondering what was up when they fired Wilner in the fall and didn't replace him.- Canadian Politics

They do surveys to gather the information. It's free research for the party in power. And, then they point to it to say this is what people wanted, regardless of what the statistics say. It just makes people feel like they've contributed. I've been on the gov't side enough when they're preparing these consultations. The orders are already written and they'll finetune them next week. They don't really care what we think.- US Politics

Ottawa can pass Vancouver and Calgary soon if they keep this up.- Game 19 : Montreal
Spitballing but I'm guessing Corey Perry doing Corey Perry things? I just wish Buff was around.- Game 19 : Montreal
Some sort of computer reposting issues.- Game 19 : Montreal
Niku was very good, so you can expect him to be reassigned to the taxi squad. Heinola is playing big minutes with the Moose. I would rather see him there with lots of minutes touching the puck, than splitting time at the NHL level, on and off the roster.- US Politics

Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Razzle Dazzle 'em Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it And the reaction will be passionate Give 'em the old hocus pocus Bead and feather 'em How can they see with sequins in their eyes?- Covid-19
It's truly amazing how quickly they got these vaccines ready but let's not forget the scientists at the Gates Foundation that managed to get the human control chips into each of these vaccines in such a short time. An unrivalled engineering feat. Equally remarkable.- Covid-19

I'm not sure he can be charged with a crime there?- Game 19 : Montreal
He's been fine. He's had many partners, he's on a great deal and I'm not ready to toss him out because the team as a whole has struggled defensively.- Game 19 : Montreal
Oh, boy. That's our best defender. They would have to come in with an over-the-top trade offer.- Game 19 : Montreal
He's in QC.- Game 19 : Montreal
