Appropriations are amongst the bluntest of policy measures…. And quite easily offset.

Shocking that the U.S. population is leaning just slightly in favour of decency, justice, rule of law, …It certainly confirms that the country is not in the state is it because of the president, it’s because of the people.

‘Small’ isn’t a sufficient summary of the man, yet it seems to be one of those instances where people are surprised that he made the league at all, let alone excel in it. Because he’s small.

She does seem flawed and unprincipled…setting aside her naivety. It would appear that she did not feel deserving of the Peace Prize but disrespecting it in such a profoundly dense gesture dumping it on tRump. A shallow opportunist she is, oblivion will overtake her.

It’s distressing how tRump brings out the Janus-faced doofus in people, more so the closer they get to his putrid bubble. People willing to live with shame in exchange for a fascist agenda.

They’ve stumbled upon a 1st line formula which is working. Why undermine its status with an immediate discussion about inserting Dach? Shouldn’t he earn it?

I sense that the line chemistry has had a lot to do with the excellence that all three are showing. They’ve been shown confidence and an undisputed role, and have responded beyond expectations.

Great balanced reporting, Brian. It was distressing seeing the excess of odd man rushes and breakaways which Fowler had to face. That’s the environment which erodes confidence - both ways.

His brain is driven by fantasy, fiction, oppression, cruelty, grift, money for nothing …which altogether fit nicely with Christianity, MAGAT style.

Happy Pastamas to you (that’s seasonal greetings from Pastafarian). Always anticipate your Habs insights and post game reviews .

This tenderfoot pattern is responsible for the mess concerning Ukraine. Stalled initiative on NATO membership, a 1994 ‘security’ agreement that meant nothing, no response to the annexation of Crimea, and milk toast tactics on supporting Ukraine with the best weapons including aerial. Explains it all

You can tell in the opening seconds of a period whether the Canadiens are going to control or be controlled. It’s infectious, and he opening line - too often lately - lets the opposition set the tone. Texier has been a breath of the right kind of air.

One game doesn’t destroy things and one game doesn’t fix them. It’s worrisome if the team needs to be deeply humiliated to bring out its A-game.

Was impressed that they avoided the attitude “we’ve scored, so now it’s your turn”. When they’re sharp and thinking, they’re a pleasure to watch.

The team seems to have no defense strategy whatsoever, and this is most obvious when they have a lead. It looks like “every man to himself”. The coach may talk about intentions and methods, but it doesn’t get much further than that.

The entire setup seemed more cohesive and composed…which happens when one of the team’s core drivers isn’t leaking oil.

They may not recover their balance and composure until other teams begin taking them for granted…which may be soon.

Habs are a quite fragile machine, notwithstanding the 9 wins. They seem to dominate for brief segments then retreat into some measure of defence. When line #1 is off its game, there is generally little evidence of depth. They could be 6-8.

One of the dumbest programs I’ve watched (briefly). The pretext is unlikely to an idiotic level. The casting is blunt and too obvious, the scrip writing has very little entertainment value.

Amidst all the applause, it’s a bit unsettling that the win-loss should be 2-3, absent the heroics of three players., and some very good fortune.

Why quibble over tactics? There’s an assault on the foundation, every well- intentioned effort to resist is worthy. Sort through the finer points after the house is secured.
