If a whereabouts violation ban is the end of Penny Oleksiak as an elite swimmer - and people in swimming think it is - then her legacy is that she changed swimming in this country, and was the best swimmer we had produced, and then things slowly fell apart. www.thestar.com/sports/olymp...

In the whole discussion about a possible pipeline, I don't get how no one wonders whether there would still be a viable market for oil by the time the pipeline gets built. It's just assumed that Asia will continue to buy the oil forever into the future which seems most unlikely.
