Living in beautiful Golden, BC, Canada. He/him. Proud father and husband. Opinions are temporary - will change my mind on any topic, as long as the vibes are good. Fan of Arsenal FC and the Canadian Men's Soccer Team.
Terminally online american liberals seem to think Canadians would vote Democrat as a 51st state.

No buddy, firstly we ain't getting a vote. Secondly, if we do, were voting for maple Sinn Féin.

Question for any football people in the know. How prestigious are the various cup tournaments? I.e. if a team wins the EPL cup and FA cup, but is 9 points off the top of the EPL table, is that a better or worse result than winning the EPL, but not reaching the semi's in either cup?

The second most popular xmas movie is about how you can have xmas without presents and still some Canadians are complaining that their xmas stuff is more important than the Canada post strike.
Meanwhile employees are giving up their paycheque before Xmas to benefit labour. Real spirit of xmas there.

To anyone who can read this, I need album recommendations from the last 30 years or so. I'll try any genre, but unique and interesting lyrics are a huge plus. Please also mention the best song on the album!

For reference, the following (newish) albums I consider near-perfect:

Genuine question: do professional hockey players practice their first fights? Like is there a training day for that, or is it more of a learn-as-you-go affair?

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends who celebrate!

The problem with being a Canadian Arsenal fan is that my entire weekend can be ruined by 10am on a Saturday. Please just take the lead within 10 minutes and grow it from there. It's only forest, right?

What brilliant soccer to watch tonight. Team Canada played every minute like they were one goal behind, instead of comfortably ahead. Such great connection between the players, March can't come soon enough.

Excited for the #CanMNT game at home against 🇸🇷 Suriname today. Last game was filled with fouls and delays, I'm hoping we can get a good flow going this time. Interesting to see how Marsch is going to solve the corner problem, if we can get someone to find Bombito's head that would be massive.

If you've stumbled upon my profile, it's nice to be seen. I haven't seriously interacted with social media since the time everyone was on facebook, might pick the habit up again. If you have positive opinions about Jonathan David, Bukayo Saka, or Parks Canada, you're following the right account.
