To note, Mooney did score in the shootout against BC, but for reasons I've never quite understood, the NCAA does a shootout at the end of tie games but game result is recorded as a tie regardless.

Put this in your minds now: these corrupt motherfuckers will argue in favor of Trump and the AI corporations that back him. Many AI companies like Palantir already define themselves by their pocketbook and because many of the judges here take bribes, they too will serve their billionaire masters.

Habs CHL prospect action:

We have a *potential* goalie showdown tonight, with Blainville-Boisbriand visiting Newfoundland. Yesterday, B-B peppered NL 10-4, with Arseni Radkov in net for the former.

No guarantee Radkov goes again tonight, but NL's Mikus Vecvanegs may be in net for NL tonight. 1/2

Racist white man from a state nobody lives in fearmongers that four million Americans could have political representation. Really just remarkable what these imperialist fucks will say out loud.

Also just continues to drive me insane that people who are absolutely ignorant about technology get put in charge of overseeing and making law about it. Imagine the media/opposition firestorm if someone with a humanities background was made the finance minister.

Robert Rice @robertbrice.bsky.social · 1d

A disgraced journalist in charge of a ministerial file he is grossly unqualified for to boot. The fucking clown is apparently asking an AI bot to summarize legislative briefings for him.

The RCMP could stumble over a crime scene with a person standing over a dead body, laughing maniacally while holding the likely murder weapon, and still take a month to interview them, likely about whether they saw any indigenous persons nearby.

Only one of the four Progressive Conservatives who lost their jobs in the Greenbelt imbroglio has been interviewed by the RCMP in a probe that began two years ago, the Star has learned.

Two years later, top Tories who lost jobs in Greenbelt scandal still haven’t been interviewed by RCMP

Royal Canadian Mounted Police officials were tight-lipped when contacted about the second anniversary of launching their criminal inquiry.

Hey not only is this guy a racist climate-denier, he's also a petty tyrant to his own colleagues. Weird how Conservatives are so unpopular.

Conservative Party of BC Leader John Rustad confirmed Thursday it was his idea to search the phones of party MLAs to try to find the source of a suspected leak during a caucus meeting this week.

Andrew MacLeod reports. #bcpoli
