If they just could have found a way to become competitive instead of being a day one doormat they might have been able to make it.
Having your club fold instills an unsettling, deviant strain of anger and powerlessness that you don't quite know what to do with, and can't simply shake off, even if you saw it coming.

I'm so sorry, Winnipeg.

The US has to understand, it's not the fact that Trump was re-elected that shattered the reputation of the US. It was the fact that he could be re-elected. The US has fallen to Banana Republic status, and it will take a whole restructuring to change that.

❗️Oleksandr Tishaev and Oleksandr Alikseenko from the 🇺🇦138th Separate Territorial Defense Battalion, who held positions on the front line for 165 days continuously, have been awarded the highest military decoration — the "Cross of Military Merit" - decree of President Zelensky

Send all the mothballed Type 74's to Ukraine - They just might be a really well built reliable swift little tank they told us it was and its success would be very good press for an industry that wants to build on that massive frigate deal with the Aussies

And it messes with Putin - #SlavaUkrayini
❗️🇯🇵Japan is considering relaxing rules on arms exports to countries at war.

Heroes. Two Ukrainian Territorial Defense fighters after leaving their position in the Zaporizhzhia direction, which they held for 165 (!!) days.

Unshakable will.

Ukrainian attack drones breached 1,200 km of ruzzian airspace overnight, striking the Dagnotekh oil refinery on the Caspian Sea coast.

The sooner Europe & Canada can become militarily autonomous & self sufficient the sooner they can truly protect themselves against Russia without having to deal with the orange traitor elephant in the room. That means leadership must take the threat seriously and implement an official war standing.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

Canada still lacks universal paid sick leave — and that’s a public health problem as we approach flu season
A universal sick leave system would help Canada better manage seasonal illnesses and future outbreaks, protect economic stability and prepare for emerging crises.
