Canada sending her back to America is the Germany shipping Lenin to Russia of the 21st Century.

I get where they’re coming from.

Today's forecasted high is -22°C and those Americans think they can just waltz their way into Ottawa.

Today's forecasted high is -25° C.

It is currently -36°. The wind is only 20km. Not great, not terrible.

The best part? Only 7.5 hours of sunlight today, this frozen Friday will just fly by!

My entire life Chinese officials have been strategic, long term buyers.

They will buy and hold a years worth of commodities. They hold a mountain of beans on the dock in June, sell three ships worth, see the harvest prices drop, then buy next year's supply.

He traded chips for beans. At a loss.

i subscribed to the red zone channel in order to hear the latest about draftkings, but i'd conservatively estimate that 75% of the broadcast has nothing to do with draftkings. they keep trying to shoehorn in all these football games. i don't like football. i don't watch football. what is this shit

The problem there being that words mean things, especially when they officially come from the United States. It’s exhausting and unreasonable to expect others to guess when American leadership means what it says, and when it’s just lying to keep Trump and Vance happy.

The double tap gets all the attention. But the initial strike on the boat has no real legal rationale.

Regardless, service time manipulation will occur. I predict the first article discussing "why the Jays should" is printed in March.
Trey Yesavage threw 139.2 innings last year.

98 in the minors.

14 in the big leagues.

27.2 in the playoffs.

GTFO with this “the Jays will need to carefully monitor his innings” BS.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.

I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

This is a self inflicted wound. Caused by the current administration's ignorant funding cuts.
There's no going back from this one.
The one place you could stop this was the Darien Gap. They canceled the program which was running there and less than a year later, ta da!
