Unless it was for unavoidable work, I legitimately just don’t give a shit if you are Canadian and are inconvenienced travelling to the States

I’ve been waiting for this moment
The NHL officials fly commercial airlines. Teams can’t play without them. At this point it’s unknown if they’re caught up in this. There are 14 games Saturday night.

Some personal news: Yesterday was my last day at Microsoft. Today, I started a brand new job at the FAA and things are going pretty well!

You better lay off the butter chicken, Ken. You’re looking pretty bloated in your profile picture.

If he just wants to play, then why is he appearing in campaign videos for Putin’s political party “United Russia” instead of playing??

It is deeply disappointing and hurtful to see a player on as popular a team as the Blue Jays promote Islamophobia and conspiracy theories. Muslims, particularly youth, who cheer for the team and its players will now doubt whether they truly belong to the Jays fanbase. There is simply a no room for Islamophobia or hate of any kind in the MLB or within the Jays organization. We call upon the MLB, the MLSE, the Blue Jays, and all leaders to denounce these anti-Muslim posts. We urge leadership to follow the same precedent it has established when other players have taken bigoted stances against other communities. We also call for a full apology from Mr. Santander, as well as a commitment from him to meet with Muslim communities to thoroughly understand why his posts are false, hurtful, and harmful to Muslims in Canada.

I think this is the sort of thing that will end @SylviaJonesMPP tenure as health minister....
A 31-year-old woman with a rare cancer asked Ontario to cover a treatment that could save her life. The government’s own experts said yes. Ford’s ministry said no, then blamed the experts. When Dr. Robin Lennox called that out today, she was thrown out of the legislature.

Agreed. A dollar of cap space is worth the same in every market. Florida's tax break belongs to the player, not the team. What surprises me is how nobody talks about the RCA. Canadian teams can put part of a player's salary into a Retirement Compensation Arrangement. Once he retires outside Canada, he withdraws it at roughly 25%. Net result: the same tax as "no tax" Florida, sometimes less. And far less than New York, Massachusetts or California. But sure, keep calling Canada a tax nightmare. #WeAreGoldStar!
The flaw in equating Kucherov’s Florida after-tax earnings to a $20M Montreal salary is that it treats Florida’s tax advantage as justification for Tampa paying him less. That tax advantage is a player benefit and not a discount Tampa is entitled to capture.

Ontario. This is the MPP you need. This is the doctor you need. MPP Dr. Robin Lennox rightly accused Deputy Premier Jones of lying in denying a patient treatment that her doctors and Ontario Health itself recommended. Dr. Lennox - thank you. @RobinLennox
“She has lied and people have died.” Moments ago at Queen’s Park: NDP MPP Robin Lennox is kicked out of the chambers for calling Health Minister Sylvia Jones a liar, following revelations that Ontario refused to fund Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment despite its own health agency’s recommendation.

NEW: Ontario’s own health agency recommended funding a 31-year-old cancer patient’s treatment in the U.S. Two clinical experts agreed it was medically necessary. But a senior ministry of health official denied her funding anyway — and Sabrina Apitz-Grossman was never told about those recommendations, new FOI records reveal. thetrillium.ca/news/health/o…

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a blunt message to Russia: “You cannot bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your junior players to Alberta to play hockey as if you were civilised people. No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Junior Championship. Not under your flags. Not under any other flags. Period.”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced that Russia will not be permitted to compete at next month's world junior tournament in Alberta as long as the Ukraine invasion continues.

I love that scene in Good Will Hunting where Ben Affleck is talking to Matt Damon's titular character Will Hunting and he's like “you've got a gift man and you've gotta get outta this town and make something of yourself” and the gift in question is being really good at math and the town he needs to get out of is Boston, Massachusetts.

Thanks Kris. Now that you’re here… Are CTF employees supposed to be going to partisan fundraisers? This one would have been a top dollar one too. Have you yourself attended similar fundraisers?

Canada continues to get industrial policy wrong. Picking winners creates artificial barriers to competition and misallocates capital. A better approach would be a broad-based subsidy accessible to every firm in the space.
