News outlets should never be banned from any press conference. That's Reform stuff. But, the Rebel is not a news organization and I wouldn't worry about banning them.

Random Jets News
Heard a third party story today. Group of 4 people had 4 seats. 3 of 4 wanted to cancel. Last one decided he wanted to keep two seats as season tickets. Waited a month before a rep called back. Jets wanted to charge $100 (I think per seat) change fee. They just said forget it and cancelled all their seats. Not only is their PR team struggling with tone, they're making bad decisions with their existing customers.

At least we've established that the PCs are devils. I don't want them anywhere near power for a generation. The damage they've done is immeasurable. They've messed up so much. Can't be soon enough. Anyone but the PCs.

Liberals tend to do well in by-elections, as they can focus all their limited resources. In the general election, they'll focus only on those that they have a legitimate chance to win. That will not be too many seats.

Yes, it seems they were both upset. I have no doubt words were exchanged.

2023 NHL Playoffs Thread
My personal gripe is that the my kids and I have to be two blocks away from the arena and one from True North Square at 1:15 on Saturday. It's going to be a nightmare.

They can't! In order to claim the tax credit, they would have to declare that $5 as revenue. They get no tax benefit from passing on the contribution, same as when any grocery store asks you to donate $1, $2, $5, etc, to some charity of their choice.

Businesses love cons because they support corporate welfare. More money in their pockets and less in the plebs. No surprise here. Amazing how this happens over and over and over again.

I hope he ends up in Arizona. Will be fun to watch Bettman explain why tomorrow's star is playing in a college arena with a 4,500 seat capacity and no fan support.

Round 1 - Game 1 : @ Venetian Golden Knights
“Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Winnipeg to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.”

raptors / nba.
The NBA allows all sorts of dodgy stuff. Their refs are on the take and the players take loads of time off. It's more entertainment than sport now and I'm struggling to find the game entertaining. Loads of crazy talent but the product is becoming unwatchable, IMO.

Slightly less ugly than the black-grey combos they had. At least these have orange.- The MLB/Goldeyes Thread
Infuriating watching the Tigers let that one go. Barf. They've played down to the Tigers over the past few games. But, the bullpen in Detroit is terrible. - The MLB/Goldeyes Thread
